this is a somehow surprising effect, when i use the hair-primitive "cylinder":
those variations appear by changing the amount of segments. but this effect also happens, when altering the length value for example. the effect also shows up, when a material tag is being applied.

EDIT: seen on r14, vista64bit

I can reproduce it, but can't tell you much more than that, since hair is just a series of vectors the plugin passes from Cinema to Maxwell. I notice that gets worse with wider root width and narrower tip width (e.g. 1000/10). I'll have the core guys take a look to see whether this is something to be fixed, or if it's just something that's not supported.
