Edges
The ‘FiberFX Pixel Filter’ draws fibers as a series of two-point polygon edges, they are not perfectly smooth splines. You can set the number of edges of your fibers (max 127) using the ‘Edges’ setting.
The higher the number, the smoother your fibers will look.

page 15 of the manual

Edge Qty (Quantity)
The number of edges on each fiber strand. The more edges the smoother the strand. If you render your fibers using the ‘FiberFX Pixel Filter’ in LightWave 3D Layout, fiber strands can be further subdivided by using the ‘Fiber Smooth’ setting. If required, you can cover an object with single pointpolygons by setting the ‘Fiber Sides’ setting to 0. The maximum edges per fiber is 127.

page 41 from the manual

the setting in the picture was 6 and it looked ok, try some like 8 or 10 to see what happens.

hope it helps. I never tried fiber fx, so i just loocked in the manual, i might be wrong.
