the tutorial is in the link Jack posted

Something like in the Carrara video is imho not possible yet in trueSpace7.x
at least I wouldn't know how to do the interactivity.

From pure material point of view I see no such large differences.
Even software based solutions like Carrara or Shave and a Haircut
use instancing for hair. Those programs couldn't simulate thousand and million individuals separatly.

To do similar in realtime you can use textures where several bunch of hairs
are already painted together.
Of course it's not as accurate as the software solutions but you have to choose:
either quick and dirty or slow and clean :D

Carrara lets you choose whether or not to 'show' the hair when grooming and lets you specify the amount of guides shown at any one time.


I turned the amount up so high they blurred into each other and it was still very smooth.
