Please look into Zbrush Fibermesh

Hi Developers,
Pixologic is about to bring a Point-Release with a very intuitivly looking and powerful Hair-Generator for Zbrush.
Output is a mesh, so rendering with Maxwell should generally be possible...
I just thought - as you are working on 2.6.1 that one might look into this Generator for best as possible Support.
It seems a very practical Hair Solution for illustrative work to me.

If it exports as a poly mesh then I guess it's already supported :) Otherwise they need to provide some curve data which our extension can use. This looks good for general fibers but doesn't seem too well suited for longer hair, curly hair.

Yeah, that's what I thought too. So then just take it as a general information that there's an interesting upcoming option...
Just in case you are also working on whatever sort of optimization on currently not directly supported hair-generators which too have to bake
their output to a mesh.
