paint effects are driving me mad! Please help!

[kap13]

Could anyone sugest anything? I have noticed if I export the character naked and import it into a new scene the hair seems to stay, so i decided to cut the painted geomtery so it could act as a wig. However, when this was imorted to a bold character there was no paint effects there. I have tried optimising the scene and everything.

I’m assuming you are exporting selection from one scene and importing into another.
What happens when you open the exported scenes? Is everything OK there? This will check if the problem is the way you export - you may have not selected all needed nodes before the export.

Not too much info in your post but from what you've told I can guess that Paint Effects have nothing to do with this problem. Paint Effects here are just used to render hair, so if hair gets corrupted it probably means that there's something wrong with dynamics (cache, initial state, etc).
Anyway try posting this question in Dynamics section and provide more info.
