Would it be possible to have a set of something like alphas added to the tube tool so that it can extrude a shape other than round? The ability to add our own shapes would be awesome to.

You mean, the possibility o change the tube profile? I think this would be hella usefull. Maybe not with alphas, but some option that allow us to change the tube profile, like 6 point editor, or some presets, would be usefull for hair.

Current status is: it will be done some day. It’s one of the top priority feature.

Please consider to add scale/rotate per point as well.  
Mega cool would be alpha/shape per point, like loft in 3Ds max I.e.  
And selectable caps like flat, half sphere, cone 🖖  
Anyway, a simple alpha or shape would be a blast already.
