Ever try to model Hair?  What a mess!  You quickly get bogged down in intersected polygons and things just get messy.  So, you end up settling for messy, or tossing out your idea and just going with something simple, which already exists thousands of times in the store.  (Flat bob anyone???)

Worse, maybe you've used the hair room.  Enough said.

Well, how about this?

Start with a flat planed circle, and cut it into radial strips, texture each strip with a basic hair texture, put as much curl and twist into each strip that you want, but still leaving the plane basically flat.  Export that out and load it into Poser as a dynamic prop!  Run a simulation and drape it over the head and let the strands, with their curls, fall over the head and around the shoulders and down the back.

Now repeat the process with variation, and drape THAT over what you've previously done

Continue until satisfied.

Sound good?

I intend to try this out as soon as time permits.  If anyone else would like to run experiments, please report here!
