Funny you should say that - it's exactly what I thought. It seems I have
unwittingly reproduced the hair of Mr. William Clinton...

Yeah, I suppose he is. Sorry about that ;)

Well, the "headwind" image is a rather extreme example. By wind effects I
really mean specifying a general direction in which all the hairs will bend,
so you can simulate wind, gravity, hair-raising suspense <g> etc.

Kena!
I tried to create something like that (for hair approximation) by using
same approach (tracing to object's surface from its center) last year,
but failed miserably: it worked, but result was less than acceptable.
This was probably due to hair type: I used cones for fast results, but
looking Your picture, I realize that something more sophisticated works
much better. Now I know, what PovRay means: Persistence of Ray tracer
(in order to get good results). Unfortunately persistence is the very
thing, which seems to miss in my case :-( (in addition to time).
This approach (creating many, many objects) seems to give better results
in some cases than media: it will probably render faster and result is
more realistic. There was teddy bear, whose fur looked better than
anything before seen for hobbist range, but realism still lacked. I
tried to create hairs, using media, but again, I had not enough
persistence and result was not good.

The "sth." is short for "something", right?

If you make it a little longer it could look like Don Kings hair ; )

I kinda knew I'd get asked <shrug> ;>
There these odd little toys that some company made several years back.
A little oblong furry thing with eyes, if you scratch it, it purrs (has
a little motor). It seems that while there weren't any official Star
Trek tribbles (a little alien creature with just the fur) being made
some company decided to make something similar (no guarantee about those
motivations, just seems that way). Anyway, there cute (in an odd sort
of way). :)
