Advice: Model this hair.... 2004-07-20 - By kim aldis
Back
I'd think quite seriously about modeling the hair as a poly mesh then
putting the detail on with a displacement map. I probably wouldn't use
surfaces, they're too difficult to work with. If you go down the mesh route,
I'd probably start with a cube, adding and moving faces and edges.
