    Thank you!  And yes, it does save properly, too! 

    I wanted to thank Galien for sending me down this path.  It's very, very interesting.

    I've finally found time to try the Muelsfell Terrain Shader on hair - and I like the results it gives (see attached file).

    I found it easier to set up this shader than the Daz one; in particular, when copying and pasting from the original hair surface, more properties are copied over.

    That looks great galien!  I think it's easier, too.  Saving things makes it so much faster to learn, as well.  I do have some things about vertical offsets that I want to play with more before I post a question, but overall, this is a great thing and thanks again for mentioning it!

    Here's my latest with Muelsfell Terrain Shader...different hair set, similar style.

    Here's the latest.  I concentrated on the bangs of this hair set.  I redid the mask for the top and the middle layers and discovered I now have better control over where the colors show up.  Not perfect, but with new masks there are four distinct colors--that's the effect I originally wanted.

    I thought I'd share the final render and all the masks I used.  This has been a really fun thing to dig into.  I just really want to thank galien.  You have a lot of patience to put up with all my questions, but here's the kicker--I listened and I learned.  I'm grateful beyond words!

    So, here they are...

    Thanks, and you're welcome.  I also found this to be an interesting project.
