Is it possible to change the angle of individual eyelashes?

I'm wondering if this is possible. Right now, Genesis 8's eyelashes are all perfectly lined up with each other, all exiting the edge of the eyelid at exactly the same angle. At many camera angles, this results in an artificially obvious straight line to what--in real life--is never straight. Is there (in box) a way to randomize them? Would a displacement map accomplish this? Is there perhaps a product that does this that I'm missing?

This shot shows what I'm talking about:

    The default lashes are just transmapped sheets, so you'd have to edit the opacity maps to change their look.

    Hmmm...that wouldn't change their orientation though. Just their opacity.

    Maybe this calls for creating lashes with the stand based hair editor?

    This product includes fibermesh lashes for G8F, which should allow for more "depth":  https://www.daz3d.com/luxe--fibermesh-lashes-and-brows

    I wasn't sure what you wanted - painting a different set of lashes on the opacity mask would let them move side-to-side on the surface, but would not chnage their elevation.

    No, no, your answer was perfect. I hadn't really snapped to the fact that they were just opacity mapped, 2D planes basically, so thanks for pointing that out. You'd think I would have just looked before asking, but no...:D
