Thank you for asking this question

Really looking forward to the update now.

Great work Juanjo. Looking forward to testing this.

Great thanks!

You can make FiberMesh in ZBrush, then export it as curves to LWO, then in LW convert them to 2-point poly chains (Strand Maker), then you can use them as guides for FiberFX OR directly (as 2-point poly chains) for Octane fibers. And as Juanjo said, soon use FiberFX with Octane, WOW!

Edit: Zbrush to FiberFX guides procedure is explained in the LW2015 manual (note: ONE Manual, no addendums anymore!!!! 2303 pages) on page 1044
