Hair Trouble. Need help please!

#1

Hi there,
I am having some real trouble getting hair to work right for me.
For some reason when I select my hair and click dynamics, nothing happens. (not even an error).
Has anyone had this before? I don’t know how to get it working. I tried making some new hair and dynamics worked fine but i don’t want to have to style the whole thing again…
Any ideas.

Oh I figured it out. If i put the standard material on the hair it will allow me to add dynamics. Of course! :surprised
I’m beginning to to hate xsi hair…

doesn’t make any sense to me.
Usually just hit Dynamics and add some force to it should make it move.
Or just move it around… etc.
You can set the dynamics stuff to be Exact (which isn’t really that exact) or the XSI Rough… which is pretty rough but it’s fast enough for realtime testing.

Take a look on the dynamics tab in the hair object. Theres stuff for stiffness, damping, etc…

You can make it move, but don’t try getting long hair collisions to work properly.

I got it to work okay in the end but there was some weird bug where I had to change the material for it to apply. I just think hair is really scary in xsi. I mean you woludn’t want to spend too much time on it because it’s likely that you’ll have to build it again from scratch two or three times!
I just hope someone comes up with a cool ice hair alternative.

XSI hair is a headache :frowning: It should be renamed XSI fur.
