Hair Farm is designed for CG professionals to cater to the needs of a production environment. It does not dictate a specific hair production pipeline, and it can be used in a variety ofways depending on requirements of the project at hand.

Hair Farm is better integrated into 3ds Max than its built-in hair system! Modifiers, materials, maps, shadows, utility tools, etc.--everything is exactly where you would expect it to be. Furthermore, Hair Farm uses the standard 3ds Max plug-in interface for most tasks. Therefore, it permits the use of many existing tools and third party plug-ins in 3ds Max on hair generated by Hair Farm.

With Hair Farm you are not restricted to use 3ds Max for all your tasks either! You can easily convert hair strands to splines or polygonal geometry with any level of geometric complexity that you need. You can then export them to your favorite application and continue your process there.
