dForce hair going through my figure after simulation

jayneeclarke

Hi there,

I am trying to animate my character with dForce hair however the hair seems to go through my character rather than falling naturally, as well as stretching strangely and going crazy; it goes all knotted over her face. I have tried expanding the hair cap, and I also bought the dForce Master - Hair Simulation Presets for dForce Cloth Engine to try different smoothing, stretch, density etc. settings however it doesn't seem to change my results. I am using dForce LongFlip Hair for Genesis 8 Female(s) and have also tried dForce RockZ Hair for Genesis 8 Female(s). 

Has anyone had great results animating with dForce hair? Any tips for a newbie?

Thanks,

Jayne

Did you use the start preset that comes with dforce hair?

And also try not to have any other things in your scene when start simulation. So just character + hair.  At least when you starting with dForce.

I am having the same issue now with a non dforce hair (Udane hair) that I had not had before. Clinging wildly to the face and floating outward and weird angles.

As I said, the hair was not doing this previously. Before I was having trouble with the hair draping too straight and I wanted to keep some of it's curl.

Non-dForce hair shouldn't have changed - are you using it on the original figure? Is there a smoothing modifier active?

Yes smoothing is active parented to a g8 figure and it was draping fine I think in DS 4.10 was the last time I had messed with the scene until recently (except the fine-tuning I had needed to make it less straight)
