My take on it is that system demands of the new hair technology will pretty much restrict it's use to perhaps one character in a scene if even that - the rest will have the older transmapped hair. ...By the way, does anyone else feel as excited as I do about the possibilities of combining transmapped hair with the new cloth technologies for realistic movement without tedious morphing? I don't know if existing meshes would be adaptable, but I think there's a tremendous potential for development there! ... just my 2 cents worth...
