to answer your other questions, yes strand based hair works fine for other parts of the body especialy as they do not have to be as dense as head hair. I've done some experiments and it works fine, though I have not had the time to do a finished piece to illustrate yet. I also tried growing hair on the poser cat(Yes, I wanted to do a hairy pussy;)), it is possable assuming enough ram to do it. but styling that much hair is time consuming to the extreme, consider fur patterns on animals. the directions change depending on where on the animal you are growing the hair and to make it look realistic those directions have to change gradualy. the grain of the fur has to curve organicly. not the easyest thing to do with the strands. Doable but time consumeing, I spent several hours mapping and sculpting the hair on the head of the cat alone and finally gave up for the time being as my eyes were going cross with the effort. I'll go back to it one of these days.
