Re: [scripting] finding source vertex of a hair strand

["Christian Keller" <Christian(at)fongfood.com>]

the model was already done and the fur was on a cluster.

if you use the whole mesh the strand index is the same as the vertex index...

no longer nor harder to code than your method, why not do it properly.
