In my work with my Henry Higgins model I am, as usual, having trouble with the hair. I wanted to try somethings with the new hair abilities in Blender 2.40, but I have no idea how that would export to the other packeges that would be animating the model. Does anyone have any experience in exporting Blender paticles?
I don’t know, do you call failure experience? 
I don’t see any way to convert the strands to actual geometry at the moment. But, you can render in YafRay so if you choose xml you get a nice human readable document.
