I started to play with this HAIR thing and found that I could make it render in the SKETCH mode, but not the regular mode. So I thought- if this renders in Sketch Mode, it must be REAL, and not a procedural effect. I tested this further by bringing in a very simple Pinguin 3DS model- and it covered it in hair. BUT, it won't hairify a Poser UV mapped object. Hummm. So I first tried exporting a hairy ball - BUT DON't DO IT! It takes forever. Instead- try a simple box, keep the hairs short and simple, and export it as a 3DS- which I did. I loaded it in our favorite 3DExplorer- and HAIR! Long Beautiful Hair! (etc choruses from the 60's musical HAIR) so- it's REAL folks. Think about THAT! It's Poser's own Phong rendering engine that can't seem to render it- but a Ray-Tracing renderer will. GET ON THIS, I THINK.
