i was very carefull to avoid intersections when styling but there are a lot of guides involved , may have missed a few ,any tips on finding and fixing this prob?... there are 13 groups , when i ran cage's bake script the hair changed, kinda jumped a distance  off the prop and had to be repositioned  , this may have caused intersections though the before and after renders looked very much the same... thanks for responding im kinda lost trying to consider all the variables involved here... my biggest concern is that im worried there arent any settings that will reasonably simulate hair even if i get a perfect model built , i have been testing settings with an animated sphere prop with just a few hairs on it and still get either 'wild hair' or collisions arent working very well , have i just not found the right gravity/spring/dampening combination that works? or are there such settings ?i have seen hair videos that looked great,(such as the beautifully done video  by toxicwolf which inspired me to give poser hair another shot), but only in distant renders where there wasnt any real detail to consider...

thanks

:O)

Y'all have a great day.
