Hey! I think I've seen this thing before. Only the eyes weren't quite that
creepy last time. :D

That's good looking hair too. Maybe MPOV's trace functions could help.
Judging from some of their animations, Rune and Greg M. Johnson could
probably tell you how to find the surface of just about anything.

Are those 30K hairs meshes, cylinders, cones, or what?
