Round hair tubes

Is there a way to make thick rounded hair strands? With a large width and hair shape set to "thick" render mode it creates edged shapes instead of round tubes. 

Nevermind, I was looking for MeshFromStrand! 

Encountered a bug though! If I disable the mesh from strand operator, hair stops rendering in Arnold. Sample scene attached. These warnings also get printed by disabling/enabling the node

# Warning: pymel.core.general : Could not create desired MFn. Defaulting to MFnDagNode.

# Warning: [mtoa.ext]  HairShape Found no translator named "polymesh"

I can reproduce it. Thank you for the report. I will let you know when this is fixed. Smile
