  there's always Hexagon.

  One thing, creating hair requires a very good understanding of UVS. I started with UVMapper http://www.uvmapper.com

  Building hair is, IMHO, the single most difficult thing to model well for a human figure. clothing is easier.

  Actually, I find hair slightly easier to model, since alpha maps can do a lot of the hard work for you. The hard part isn't the modelling but the texturing. Getting the right looking texture and alpha's in the right place makes all the difference, and when it works well, the effect can be stunning. When it doesn't, it's VERY noticeable.

  How I model hair, I find it more difficult because I have to plan for the UVS before I ever create a polygon. It always works better if I do...

  Clothing is mostly just shape matching and adding detail... hair involves layering, and then you have to create morphs... uhg...

  Why is it I cannot export poser 7 hair into Daz3d? I would really like to use dynamic hair for a model I am working on.

  Poser Dynamic Hair depends on the render engine of Poser - DazStudio uses another render engine.

  There are plugins that you can use to create similar hair for DazStudio's render engine (but these hairs don't work easily in Poser):

  Poser dynamic hair is dependent upon the Poser hair room, so export is not possible.

  There are a couple of hair plug-ins that do work with DS
