The new system still doesn’t have feature parity out of the box, but after making a few modifiers, it works okay.
I expect it is just something to get used to, the example Blender showed is brilliant and no nodes used that I recall.
As far as I can tell, you can’t even control the thickness of the hair without geometry nodes.
I only made enough node groups to be able to (sort of) follow along with the lesson (hair noise, children, and thickness).
Looking for the example you mentioned, all I found this, but it looks like it uses geometry nodes.
Although, it looks like they are using a better noise setup than I am.
Ah right It was a while ago I saw it. Plus it was not really a tutorial but a demo so probably not well explained for following.
… it’s the way to go for Blender. More control, but more work and understanding the complexity.
