This new utility looks to be amazing.

It actually rebuilds older hairs 'better' for today's DS usage - creating a new obj mesh that simulates in VWD better than the original. And even if it only works in DS, the generated OBJ can probably be loaded into Poser and used there as well. (Use DS as a hair converter for Poser - heck it's free...)

If you folks haven't seen the demo video or tutorial to see what it actually does, it might be worth a look before the current clearance sale is over, as I think this is going to bring a number libraries of 'old' hair products back to life, and I bet one material set/style to map to any/all of the generated hair strands - just a guess, based on the video. Even if you run the tutorial video fast-forward to get a sense of what it does, for many folks I think it's worth the look.

This leaves us asking how/when we get to enjoy this new feature?
