Ive added a bunch of "fray" dials in attempt to break up the rings. There is also a "hair length" dial that will help some with that too. But honestly, I think the transparency map is perhaps a bit thick. I should maybe remove some of the hairs and maybe that would add to the hair effect. Its also a pretty low poly model so maybe two of them with different transmaps? (thatd be fun to render anyhow..lol) thanx BT
