Ahem, I'd be curious too ^^

I can send you a scene I developed based on a technique I came
across somewhere to do awesome simulated strands, by creating
particle systems to loft the strands between and doing the sim on
the particles - this allow you to set orientation on the particles
and then the strands - I was using it to do grass and bushes being
flattened by a vehicle and I had the bushes/grass randomly
oriented as I was rendering a field using strand deforming.

Yes i tried a feather instance on strands but i couldn't set the
orientation...

try the loft ... checkbox in your create strands compound.
and if you use the sitoa strand compound, there´s also one for
the
rotations.
not sitting in front of xsi now, but sure you´ll figure it out
within
one minute ;)

You posted an Arnold render. You mean that you can't
achieve the same result with mr, or that the Arnold result

I just need to randomize of the geometrys y-rotation,
and according to the docs and pointers given here
earlier this should do the trick, but no go. Is there
a magic step I might have missed to get it working?

I have a nice setup which creates lovely grass
deforming geometry instances on strands so I can
have turbulent wind moving the strands around. I
am using Emit Strands for this, but I seem to be
unable to randomize the instance y-orientation
using a Randomize Rotation by Cone - they are
unaffected by this. If I create a different setup
using Emit from Geometry and Create Strands on
that, I can control the y-rotation, but then the
instances are upside down, and my non simulated
turbulence does not work.
How can I get to control instance y-rotation when
using Emit Strands?
