If we could see something like X-Gen in Maya, Ornatrix, etc...that would be great! Any, even small, little at a time updates, would be great to see for the grooming tools!
Ornatrix is a pretty expensive plugin, and the native grooming tools don't have to be as good as or better than Ornatrix, just at least decent like XGen for example. Personally(just my own experience, but I am sure others might share similarities with me), costs for 3D get pretty high. Thankfully the indie license for 3ds max(many thanks for that!) makes this much less troublesome, but still, paying on the side for other software like ZBrush, Substance Painter, Marvelous Designer, etc gets expensive. Having Bifrost fully integrated for fire & improved PFlow for less need for tyflow alone are great, but also grooming tools need some attention to make Ornatrix a less needed alternative for people who are not making hair/fur full-time for characters.
