Have Maya 7.
From time to time have seen posts and mention
made of the Shave and a haircut plugin.
If someone has it, could you give me an opinion
on it? Ease of use, possible problems. Animation is not
a question.
Also, in my search I found a few really interesting prices, but
am suspicious…
Price and where to buy would be appreciated
Thank you.

is the official place, and they have a demo though im not sure the limitations.
shave has some very nice features to it, though Im not a td or anything, the main benefits seem to be on the animation end. There are some rather nice tools for stills; I believe you can propogate geo onto the furs, and there is more in depth control for coloring and such.
The difference between shave and maya fur isn’t as extreme as say cloth and syflex, but it will definitely give you more control over your final look. Take a look at their client list- it speaks for itself on the powers of the program.
