Long Hair with dynamics...

[Karl Hansson]

I'm working on this characters hair. So far it looks good I think. Heres a little movie (sorenson 3 codec, QT6) The hair test. Warning nudity. (http://www.firelark.com/HairtestSor3.mov)

So it seems the current dynamic system isn't all useless.

Not trying to jack your thread Karl, but wanted to show another hair example that I did a few months ago with MD...

You're right, the current dynamic solution isn't useless.

Hey hrgiger thats nice. I had a problem with my hair streching alot. Although I set the stretch limit to 1% still it stretched guite a bit. If I set the stretch limit to 0% the calculation time skyrocketed for some reason. Do you know how to fix that? Also how did you set up the hairguides? I'm still trying to se whats the best method is.

Karl,

I also found that by putting stretch to 0%, it became unreasonable to calculate. Here's my original thread and the settings I used. You can see I actually used 30% stretch, I just relied more on viscosity, sub-structure, and hold to get the look I wanted. It takes some experimentation.
