I agree. The idea to use tubes might indeed be a much better solution than
the ribbons. Looking forward to that!
Yes, less hair and larger texture areas are what I am favoring too. The
problem then is how to texture that correctly. I think uv mapping would be
necessary in Poseray, but I have not yet found out what type of mapping
would work best. Using the ribbons, I shall experiment further along that
line.
