Is hair possible?

Impressive, indeed.
Will it ever be released to the public?
Forgive me if this ques has already been asked.

Of course, just awfully slow with a practical number of hairs and
collision detection.

It has been asked and the answer is the same: Once the functions i intend
for the first version are completed (there are still a few things i would
like to implement for this) and the documentation and sample scenes are
written (i have not written a single word for that yet)

Is brittle fracture one of them? :)

Can anyone help you with documentation and/or sample scenes?
