nHair Stiffness Scale ramp insufficient range

#1

More issues with nHair. The docs, once again, refer to a Stiffness attribute that has been deprecated. The only nHair control for Stiffness is the Stiffness Scale ramp. To achieve useful results, Stiffness Scale ramp flag values must be set in the range of tens. However, the ramp display is limited to a value of 1.0. So the ramp display is useless. Please bring back a global Stiffness value, with Stiffness Scale as a multiplier, so the Stiffness Scale range from zero to one makes some sense.

Logged it as a bug.

Stiffness with nHair is “bend resistance”. The stiffness scale is a multiplier of bend resistance. For greater stiffness increase the bend resistance. The stiffness scale works a bit like texturing the bend resistance for nCloth.

Thank you Duncan, I think I knew this somehow, but the documentation led me astray once again.
