This is the reason I still keep RDS 5.5 and AFX's Furrific around. It does the same thing, plus has the ability to put flowers or other objects on the ends of the strands. Other options include making the strands disappear completely leaving only the tip objects. Plus, it's animatable. That's why I hope AFX ports that application to Carrara when v.2 comes out. I'm not holding my breath though.... :( Mark
