Not quite the silky shiny hair estherau was looking for. This is one of the Poser Jessie DH styles. I didn't run this through a sim as the extra verts per hair I added for a nice smooth flow (60) were a little prohibitive. It would have run, but so slowly that a quick judgement on whether it was working was out of the question.

Oh, I think I realised where the dark/blotchy looking shadow problem lies, but I don't have a solution. Because there's no simulation of the translucence of real hair in the hair node, no light is passing through. Usually we'd expect there to be lighter, softer shadows because of this, but even with bounce light from IDL the RT shadows remain dark. You can add transparency to the hair or drop the shadow strength a little, but this has knock-on effects that don't really work too well for me. You don't notice it so much with shorter styles, but it's really a problem with shoulder length hair like this.
