after the dicussion yesterday I had some time to play around with this hair. first : to get these ugly strands away, hmann gave me the tip to change the transmap. load " maintrans.jpg" in a paintprogramm and paint the lower half of the " inner right" and " inner left" black.saved this map with different name and load it instead of the normal transmap. worked!! second:( sorry sounds a little bit silly) but the look of the hair seems to depend much of the HIGHT of the camera.If you raise the camera a bit the curls merge better and the ugly M in the middle disapears. sorry for my bad english
