I'm trying to see what I can do to make hair room hair creation more accessible.  I really want to use the hair room, but I can never master the tools for positioning the hairs.  No parameter dials!  Argh!

So I'm working on this script.  Right now it succeeds in positioning the hairs along a path defined by the positioning of a series of parented props.  But each of the hairs literally follows the path, so all of them end up with the same shape and the hairs tend to overlap.  See the images in this post and the following ones.  I think something needs to be worked out to position these hairs as a group, relative to one another, but I can't seem to work it out.  I've tried all sorts of offsets and adjustments, but nothing's really quite right.

So I thought I'd ask here if anyone has any thoughts.  How can these hair verts be made to follow the path as a group, so they retain a certain distance from one another and don't collapse into a plane or cross that plane and overlap like this?  Any ideas?  Hints?
