I want to model hair for an animation I heard you could do it using planes but that really only good for stills. I know their is plugins for other 3d modeling programs like shave and hair. Is their any for 3ds max? This would be used from everything eyes to breads to hair. Maybe even some grass.

Don't totally discount planes, it can work, tho yeah animation is a little tricky, depending on the type of hair you are after. But it does have a couple of advantages, firts rendering is faster and unlike shag hair, it doesn't cost anything. Check out a little tutorial I did on the planes method of 3D hair.
