hi. i would like to give my charackter long hairs. has anybody an idea how to do this with simple tools? or could anybody give me the link for a tutorial with that subject? thx.

there's no tool for hair/fur simulation in blender. a testung build with softbodies exists, however i'm not sure if it has the capabilities to realistically simulate the behaviour of long hair. if you like have a look at the testing builds forums here.
