HairStrips creator for Maya

AKA Tools has released HairStrips Creator, a new tool for Maya designed to create polygon bands for real-time hair effects. It offers several procedural controls, including the ability to automatically align strips based on surface normals. Users can also control base and tip width, length, and the number of X and Y segments. Bend, twist, orient offset, adaptive width, and adaptive XY segments are other adjustable parameters. Each of these can be controlled globally or locally to suit specific needs.
