I'm having a big problem here. I get a little long in explaining but please stick with me.
I have been using Maya 7 for quite some time and had no problem with it what so ever. Now I'm using Maya 8.5 and problems are arising. First problem I had is with a scene I was putting Maya Hair on a character. When it came to going into component mode and trimming some of the hair follicles (to style it) it wouldn't let me. I selected the hair and went to hair-display-start curve then it made the curves dissappear-all that remained was the follicle buds on the hair cap.
Okay so after that problem I decided I will just make the hair in a separate scene, style it, and import it into the other scene. It ended up letting me go to component mode and all that jazz. But after a while I set the dynamics and settings of the hair and then all of a sudden when I go to playback the hair in the timeline it would go to frame two then stop-like it was chugging (even though the playback showed it was playing). Everytime I have to end up force quitting the application.
Also when I go to render out what the hair looks like at the bottom it shows my percentage of paint fx rendering and it stops at 75 percent and then nothing. I could leave my computer for like an hour and nothing would happen. Then once again I'm left force quitting the program. Even after I restart my computer and importing the scene into another fresh maya scene.
The hair fx I'm doing isn't too much for the application or my computer. Like I said before I've used Maya 7 and have done much more complicated hair dynamics without a problem. Please someone shed some light on this. I'm to the point of pulling out all my hair. Also I have to use Maya 8.5 since my syflex works in it as well as the rig. Please someone save the day here. I'm up for trying anything!!!
