Re: More Strands segments?

Yeah, there is a compound in LK Lightning called LKL Subdivide Strands which does just this. With bezier or linear interpolation depending on what you want. You should be able to just simply add a new ice-tree, put it in the Post-Simulation part of the stack and plug the compound in there to get

Re: Tips on volumetric strand render

I would subdivide the strands pretty highly and then from every of those strand positions shoot a ray towards the camera that stops n number of times along the way to check for other strand positions close to it and if it finds any increases the brightness of the color at the originating strand

Indiegogo. They take a smaller cut too so that is nice. We've used it to fund some webseries and it has worked out well for us. On Tue, Apr 16, 2013 at 3:12 AM, Ahmidou Lyazidi ahmidou@gmail.comwrote: That's a good idea! Kickstarter is for US or UK resident only, what would be the best
