And fine hair it is indeed.
But there are only a few haircuts you can do like this: the 'pot' (?) you
displayed and whatever you call the army hairdo. A pretty decent hippie haircut
might also be possible... But I doubt you can go far beyound that. And when
animated it will simply look fake. Long hair is a modelling nightmare.
As I said, there are methods to include hair-by-hair collision detection, hair
dynamics etc. But they are beyond what even Chris Colefax can be expected do
with current POV script (a somewhat risky statement, I admit).
