Tubes instead of planes ?

Hey, 

Is it possible to generate " tubes " ( like xgen ) instead of planes for the hair. I find tubes way more realistic, especially on close ups where we can see the light reacting nicely to the curve of a hair. We would be able to add SSS as well to the hair with shading for more realistic effects.

Thanks !

Have you tried using cylindrical hair in Mesh From Strands?

All renderers render hair as tubes already.
