I found a fine blog run by the UK developer of the Look at my Hair? (LAMH) DAZ Studio 4 plugin. As you might guess, it puts hair on animals, and possibly (I’m guessing) beards on humans…
It’s not quite commercial yet…
“Look at my Hair beta 1.0 is ready and will be dispatched to beta testers next week.”
But it looks like it’s not far off from going in sale. The developer says that…
“The workflow is so simple and immediate that you will feel entertained and blown away by it … Just pose your model as you like, and hair will follow!”
That certainly sounds enticing, but I want feasible render times when using strand hair. But even on that point, there’s hope. Because the developer says…
“curves are highly optimized and render very, very fast and with high quality”
