ok, are you using maya? if you are then I can help you. if not, your on your own. For eyebrows you can do many things.it depends on what style your going for. ive got big bushy eyebrows on my old man so I found that applying fur to a hidden polyginal surface worked best. I had the best control over length, directon, etc. For hair you could do what I did and use paint effects which follow a curve. with alot of tweaking, this would look good next to the fur eybrows. however, it requires ALOT of tweaking. Ive recently seen very good results with nurb objects with transparency maps applied to them. ofcourse, i dont know what your going for. if you want something a little more cartoony look to just build up the hair and eyebrows with a series of nerbs shapes and dont worry about transparency.

so, youve got some choices..........good luck.

I render wireframes with the Hardware Renderer, and find it gives me pretty good control. Is there another way?
