Don’t do enough IK to know exactly why but I added a Pole which flipped the rig so I Twisted 180 in the pole control, moved it in the correct place. It was still ‘crunching’ in the wrong direction so I changed the Axis in all the joints to Y (and hit Align). Now it’s moving in the right direction I think.
Hmmm maybe only Joint and Joint.1 are necessary to Align in Y but all 3 is a slight alignment change that I think is better.

In the Compositing tag don’t use Matte Object use Compositing Background which makes the object act self illuminated but still receive shadows. The plane (in your example) has to have a material on it which is where you set it to white.

I haven’t ever tried to separate the hair’s shadow out but I’d have to agree with your guess re. not possible due to the post-process nature of it, perhaps unless it was poly hair? But then I assume you’d need a double render – one for the shadow, one for the proper look.

Thanks Sam, that works in R21
-
yeah, I wondered if you meant a lot of polys, don’t remember any plugins that did/do that…
-
you can use the Create Point tool on a poly. You’d have to eyeball center, it wouldn’t be mathematical center and it only will do one poly at a time but that will work.

the spline direction makes a difference so you might have to reverse the spline
-
with a helix you’d need more handles that the default, so add some so you have 8 or 10 handles then Redistribute the handles to make them even

Bake To Alembic works – maybe NitroBake works as well but it’s not free.
