Some degree of clumping gets naturally created when you use Frizz at low frequencies, but you can go a bit further here with the Multi Strand parameters. For each hair that is normally rendered, Multi Strand renders a clump of additional hairs scattered around the original hair. The Splay settings control the degree of scattering at the roots and tips, and Multi Strand Count controls the number of hairs to create for the clump. You can use Splay to shape the clump by spreading or compressing the roots and tips.

Interface
- Count
-
The number of hairs per clump.
- Root Splay
-
Provides a random offset for each hair in a clump, at the root.
- Tip Splay
-
Provides a random offset for each hair in a clump, at the tip.
- Twist
- Twists the clumps, using the center of each clump as its axis.
- Offset
- Offsets each clump from its center. The closer to the tip, the greater the offset.
Using Twist and Offset together, you can create spiral clumps of hair.
- Aspect
- Squeezes each clump in a direction perpendicular to the comb direction: The effect is to mat the hair so it resembles the fur of a cat or a bear, for example.
- Randomize
-
Randomizes the size of each hair in a clump.
