Hi i'm making a character for a short 3d animation(in maya), i plan on giving the character hair, fur and cloth, now i know some of you are sitting there cringing at these 3 words because im well aware of the difficulty in getting these to work and making them look good, so im asking for any hints,tips plug-ins or advice, (other then 'dont do it!').
ive played around with fur and can get close to look im after but my main query is for the hair, it will be a females hair, short, dark and shiney and the cloth which is the lower half of a trechcoat that i was hoping would animate by itself as the character moved (im guessing this is done through dynamics) ive been doing maya for about 1 and a half years, any links or advice would be greatly appreciated. if you think these will simply be to hard and/or tedious for someone of my experience perhaps you could offer alternatives, or ways to 'cheat' around it.
