In version 4, Ephere has primarily improved performance, the brush tools and dynamics, and added a new preset system.
Ornatrix can be used for modeling, animating and rendering hair, feathers and fur in 3ds Max; it is intended to be very artist-friendly to use, allowing hair to be placed in just a few minutes and controlled with brushing. Artists can refine grooming with a set of procedural hair operators and presets. The simulation tools used to control hair movement work closely with the 3ds Max animation pipeline. When rendering, Ornatrix supports all rendering tools.
You can find the complete extensive feature list for Ornatrix 4 here.
All further information about the hair tool for 3ds Max on the Ornatrix website.
After registering, you can download a free demo version; the full version costs 499 US dollars.
