Nice test.

The ribbons are the closest thing I could use to lines in POV-Ray unless 
there is a line primitive that I am unaware of. I hardly use the ribbons 
myself because Poser dynamic hair is rather useless. In fact I am 
working on modifying this feature to create tubes (with 3 sides and up) 
for each line. I think less hair lines with larger texture areas may 
look better than a very dense set of thin ribbons. The ribbons just do 
not look good when they are too wide. They tend to twist too much.
