[Bf-committers] splitting (off) hair

[Daniel Salazar - 3Developer.com]

I want to donate for Node Particles! with a strong particle system
like what lukas is doing we can easilly do a card system for hair in
the meantime. Don't let crappy features slow you down lukas! node tree
particles and modifiers are extremely important
