Do you have the AA Filter set to Animation?

if it works well in a test then it should work as long as Surface to Hair is checked in the Hair Objects Forces tab… how was the head built? I wonder if you’ve got polys doubled on top of each other or something.

[Brian Jones]

Hard to know without the scene but – are all the polys aligned? What kind of forces are there (bounce, friction etc), and it looks like hair is intersecting the mesh at the end, so again the question about the mesh – are the normals aligned and pointing outwards?

[Brian Jones]

Adam means the Time Offset setting in the Parameters tab of the Step Effector.

[Brian Jones]

well, if the points of the neighboring polys are close enough together you could use Functions/Optimize

[Brian Jones]

well, other than the icons on the window’s upper-right, 1 pans, 2 zooms and 3 rotates (on the regular number keys or the keypad)

can’t tell without seeing the setup but check further down the forum for “Stagger Inheritance”

use cylindrical mapping. You likely have to Use the Texture Tool to line it up

you can use the movie in most material channels. If it has an alpha then, when used in the material’s alpha channel, it will use that and not the color data.
