    Hello there

    I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to give me some advise?
    I am animating hair along long cube that is being shaped by a spline (using a spline wrap)
    But as soon as I add keyframes from o% to 100% of the shape, the hair freaks out.
    Has anyone got any idea of how to stop this?

    Thanks in advance

    it seems like it’s possible but maybe the spline wrap has to be done first before adding the hair

    Hello Brian

    Thanks for replying, very kind of you.

    Do you mean animate the spline wrap before adding hair?

    Best regards

    Yes, that was what worked for me in a test. I was using a simple plane so who knows. One thing I did do was to make sure I didn’t start with zero length ( ie. start/stop 0-0) so all the hair guides wouldn’t be all on top of each other, I don’t know if that’s necessary either but it seemed like a good idea at the time.
