Saie, I imported the manniquin figure and put about 20-30 strands on the upper head. I then had it move up and down to see the hair move. I didn't render it just watched the preview in the window in full tracking mode - no problem at all. I will render it and see how long it takes... Admittedly, it wasn't a very labor intensive animation. But I also deleted a figure on startup and alot of the content in the libraries I don't use...so it seems to run quicker, but still not as quick as P4+Pro, but close. Chris
