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.

There are some hair tutorials at the end of this message:

I like Bryce, DazStudio, Poser and Vue ... in alphabetical order. And I would probably like Carrara too, if I could find the time to become acquainted with it. Peace?

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…
