I started using Carrara, and I don't think it has animated hair ability. I know there's a plugin that can assist (AnythingGrows?), but I've never seen it used for this before. On the other hand, I also have Poser 6, which has dynamic hair, but I hate animating with Poser. Wish I could participate though! People with programs like Maya , Lightwave, and 3dsmax will be able to do this easily I think.
