Tapered Vray Fur?

Question… I am looking at using VrayFur to simulate a matted grass bed for a visualization I am working on. The one thing I am stuck on is trying to get the individual blades to appear tapered.

Is this possible? I am attaching my test render for reference.

Many thanks,
ts.

There is a “taper” parameter in the V-Ray fur settings, does it not do what you need?

Best regards,
