Hey Arjo, That's silky smooth!
Was your hair casting shadows before? I think that RS needs some AA controls on shadows, and maybe some other options for AA filters. There are still some things that stay noisy no matter how high the sampling or scaling. (curved stadium stairs for example.

Hi, Never give up too soon ;) I found a possibility to create a noisefree hair animation. Instead of raytraced hair I used scanline rendering for the nurbs. The reaction on lightsources is somewhat different but lighting could be adjusted of course. I guess the main reason is that scanline hair doesn't render a rounding but shows a flat shaded line. In order to get raytraced hair with shadow it would be nice if it was possible to render such flat shaded hair. Would it be possible to have normal shading in V direction (for color purposes) and a flat shading in U direction to get such flat hairs? Of course one could use a duplicate with camera invisible, but with many hairs that's not the nicest solution. www.xs4all.nl/~joly/temp/hairtest6.avi Arjo.
