Maybe it's just me, but I've been having better luck with strand-based hair in P6 than I did in P5. Not talking about collisions or such (I know they supposedly made improvements there, but I didn't try it yet), I'm just talking about how it looks. Even the stock hair comes out pretty good; more realistic without as much playing in the hair room. Well, that's just one man's opinion. Anyway, I just posted a render of Jessi using the P6 strand-based hair to my gallery if you want to check it out. A word of caution: I don't think I'll be using AO with strand based hair again anytime soon though... the rendertime was ungodly. 3 times longer than the transmapped hair I tried, but I liked the result with strand better.
