Is it possible to render curves as hair?

Particle Hair from Meshes, Bezier Curves, Nurbs

Inspired by Jandals HairNet Add-on I decided to implement my take on the problem of creating particle hair. The difference: First, I think mine is slightly easier to use (at least for me) and second its focus is randomization. Here is an example of eyelashes generated from nurbs entirely procedurally without editing afterwards: [Input] [ResultViewport] [ResultRender] Features: It supports Meshes (with seam edges), Bezier Curves (extruded so that radius and twist apply) and Nurbs as guides.…

Blender 3.3 alpha can convert curves exported in USD to blender hair curves, and convert these curves to hair particles.
I did a quick test with a haircut created in Houdini. It works well

Cool! It’s exactly what I need.

May I ask how can this be done? I could not find where to convert curves to hair.
