pfx Hair

[sid69g]

I'm trying to learn how to use pfx hair and any tips on getting it to settle instead of having areas that stick up would be great or a way to comb it...
-My main problem is that it is long hair and it passes throug the geometry of the shoulder of my character while animated- Any Ideas
any help is appreciated...

hi,

the only way to have a collision between your pfx hair and the shoulder is a control curve defined as a softbody.
paintfx has a very similar deflection (only a plane) for it's hair. so far i know there will be no improvement in the next time.

cu marco.

Hey sid69
do you want to know how to animate it or it is just that u want to get rid of the hair passing through the geometry

[sid69g]

I've come up with a pretty solid way to get what I want to happen - "highly controlable pfx hair that will not penetrate the characters surface, and that will react to dynamics and collisions- ex Hand brushing through hair, etc.

-I'm using cloth to drive the pfx tubes and control cuvres, and I added all my dynamics to the cloth works great stay tuned for posted tutorial...
