i found that i can control the highlights with the standard hair
shader quite well.
out of the box they are WAY to bright and big but nothing some tweaks
could change. i had a try with muhair but went back to standard,
because somehow i tweaked too much and the rendertimes went through
the roof.
but then i didnt worked too much with hair yet....
ciao
