Quote - Dynamic hair with poor material settings can be awful. But with good material settings, it can look very convincing, far more realistic than anything transmapped hair can do.

We need to figure out a way to get them to listen to us and improve the hair room and give us accessible hair design tools.  Maybe we can get Rosity to pin a thread, where everyone can chime in, requesting such features.  Like a petition, vaguely.  Get enough posters showing public support, all in one place, and perhaps we'll get their attention.  :unsure:

Or not.  I keep wondering whether they actually can improve the Hair Room at all.  Isn't it some kind of plugin, tacked on to Poser?  If they're using some tool with set and predefined options and they don't have access to modify its source, they may not be able to give us anything better without completely rebuilding Poser hair from scratch.  I thought it was established, back in P5 days, that hair and cloth as well as Firefly were founded on external libraries.  :unsure:  But I may have dreamed it.

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking.  He apologizes for this.  He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.

Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below.  His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.
