Nice posing, asleep in the grass until I saw the dog!

@ mason and jmeyer

Thanks for your suggestions. I already had checked some options.
Only way for me seems to be con vert via Blender... I only must find out, how. 

Until now I know, that Alt+C converts splines into meshes. But I didn't have any success so far. I think there is much more behind.

Perhaps it's only 2 mousclicks untill success but I don't see the way so far. If you'd like to see the original file you can find it in the zip below, but please don't invest too much time. (somehow I have the feeling that most of the guys here anyway do not look into her eyes at all...  )

Just sent you the splines converted to OBJ by e-mail. The file was too large for the forum (600kB too much!)
But be aware that the uncompressed file has more than 20MB! Some heavy lashes!

[DocCharly65]

Hannes, you're the greatest!
I've tried around myself for a long time, but after a certain point it's rather for genuine expertise, instead of trial and error.
PoseRay (usually my first test of an object) displays them - very good so far :-)
Would I understand if you explain what you've done? (if you used 3DMAX it's obviously futile for me trying to understand )
Otherwise thanks again -- I'll have a look, how much better our Angelina Croft looks with her own lashes ;-)

Well, I used 3ds max. So, it seems to be futile .
However, it took quite a while to understand, that I had to import it "as splines", otherwise Max didn't find anything to import.
I had to set the thickness of the splines, so if you think it's too thin or too thick, tell me, and I'll change that.

[DocCharly65]

Thanks, Hannes. I'll let you know - better: I'll let you see, how it works and looks like.

[DocCharly65]

Ok Hannes, I did some tests. the eyelashes work good and thickness is ok. But the amount was a bit small. So I tried to get denser eyelashes by duplicating your objects and move them 0.001 "terragen units in z-direction" 

First image single lashes:

Second image duplicated lashes:
[attach=2]

Sorry - Some mistakes occur because both (original Lara Croft and Angelina Jolie) are low poly models and at some places where the necks are connected I forgot to delete one or the other polygon...

I must see, how big "Lara's" role in my animation will be and if it's useful for me to spend time on repairing all that details.

[Hannes]

I think in the second image they look good.
