Well for those of us who are "hair impaired", this thing is marvelous. I was experimenting to see if a texture map could be produced using the Fur filter. And it works nicely. After applying the filter to the different parts, more detail and color variation can be applied by hand. Yes, I know this is way too red and hasn't as much color variation as I'd like but it was only an experiment to see if it would work. It saves hunting the Internet for hair textures of the right color and direction for making maps. Liz Pope Dreamspinner Inc.
