Violet hair test (Patreon)

Vi's hair is finally to a point where I can test out the rendering. The first problem is some hair poking through her ear, which may be an easy fix. The hair is also a bit jagged in some areas, which I've found can only be fixed by smoothing the source surfaces before I extract the curves... which will also give me twice as many curves.

I can't decide what's a bigger pain in the ass - the shading or the render settings. I may need to install a proper hair shader, because paintFX is too limited. I can't seem to find the options to increase the rendering quality, so hopefully the shader will help fix that too.
