Hi all

I'm going through the fur tutorials for maya fur, but I'm having a couple of problems in trying to get the attractors to work properly.

I can get all the other type of attractors to work such as IK chain and simple chain, but getting the dynamic chains to work is proving to be a real pain. I'm trying to get a grid of attractors to appear on my nurbs plane, when I click create attractors, I get a warning saying "no springs were created. Either not enough points were selected or min and/or max need to be adjusted". I tried various settings and options in fur/create attractor dialogs and I still end up we the same warning. Everytime I get this warning the wind/turbulance dyanmics don't work.

If anyone has any ideas or I'm forgeting to swicth something on, please let me know.

Also everytime I animate the fur attributes the fur render crushes when i press render. Anyone else had this problem?

I'm using maya 4.0

TIA

go to windows/setting preferrences and restore to default, i hope this will work
bcoz fur & dynamics will work perfectly only with default settings,( i.e in cm, instead of foot)

thanks dynafx

the attractors works properly now :)).
