VrayFur - sides parameter locked

[viscorbel]

I was wondering, is there any particular reason why the 'sides' parameter in vray fur is locked to 3 ?
With larger strands this looks a bit too boxy and I'd like to smooth things out a bit.

While we are on the subject, it would also be awesome to have a curve control for the shape of the strand. Or at least taper that goes the other way as well (tips thicker than roots).

We don't actually use that parameter for anything; we are always rendering the strands as flat ribbons that face the viewing ray. We should probably remove it from the UI.

As for the tapering - we can probably allow the taper parameter to go negative as well - would that work?

Best regards,

Ok, I see
I think negative taper would work pretty well!
