animation of cutting hair

#1

Hi,

i want to animate a hair beeing cut off by a shaving machine. (i´m making a short film with fleas…)

my problem is that i don´t know how i should animate the hair beeing cut and then falling to the ground without remodelling each hair and animating the different peaces…

i tried rigid bodys, scatter and the soup scatter… but soup doesn´t work right with my mesh…

i´m clueless how i could do it otherwise… does somebody have any suggestions?

that would be really helpfull :slight_smile:

thanks

you could have hair clumps constrained to the head and then turn off the constraints as the clippers go by.
