I am a student (in Canada) and the only one in my class of 13 tackling Dynamics...I need to make sweat running down a guy's face with his cheeks flapping in the wind as he swings his head left & right? This is the CHALLENGE assignment.
An alternative to a more basic f/x assignment...So any tips or suggestions to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated, cheers:beer:

In the alias wavefront particles Dvd , they had an example scene where they made pepsi drops dripping down from the can. I think thats the kind of effect you are trying to accomplish ,

i dont remember how they did it out of my head but i'll check and get back to you.

could try using curves on the surface for the sweat or maybe just particle goals. and then softbodies for the cheeks maybe. anyways, could be a start for ya

with the checks I dont think that soft bodies will work. I tried. unless you can paint spring atributes.
try selecting the cv's on the checks then aply the jiggle deformer.
using jiggle requiers a lot of tweakage.

and I would like to know the sweat drip thing too.
