Ok, Im trying to create a crop circle effect using the hair tool. Kinda like "Signs", any ideas people? Im thinkg weight map, but how can I make it bend the hair(corn) not cut it short?
What do we think?

use simulation. create a cylinder or a torus and make it collide with hairs
not sure if works but why not :p

why not a cut map? can't you make some places cut shorter? (like none) then another set of hair with an opposite cut map for where its laying down, and there you use the control hairs to bed it all over... also make the size smaller without fadeing, and a bit more varation to the colour could help.... hmm also don't forget to turn the slow collision on so that it collides properly.

also make it geometry.
