Hi Bullet-Evader,
Thanks for the positive words. The hair was done using the same technique as Elmar's excellent tutorial... strips of polys with transparency maps applied. It's a sweet technique, though it's better to use clip maps if you want to keep rendering times down. Good luck... checked out your thread and that model is really coming on.
Mark, Zeeman and Johnny9ball,
Cheers... working on some more dynamic poses and a robot companion
