:)  Thanks, David.  No t-shirts just yet, I don't even consider myself of 'intermediate' expertise just yet, but I got so jazzed about the discovery of how killer and easy Carrara hair is to work with, not to mention how realistic in animation, that I had to put it out there for others to see.  I'm still playing and learning as I go.  Just the other day I realized for the first time that we can increase the air dampening over and beyond the 100% setting.  Not sure what use I'll make of it yet but seems like it could add some interesting possibilities.

Right now I'm 'hair crazy' and having a blast making different styles and animating, but hey I'm just learning this stuff on the fly and making it up as I go along :)  I'm just glad if the vids weren't too boring and maybe added some cool new tricks to your toolkit.   Don't know if you've been following the threads over at Daz about the animated dynamic clothing proof of concept that Stringtheory developed, very interesting stuff, seems some of the folks who are experimenting are getting very fast and accurate cloth sims, though I have yet to book some time to really dig in and play with it myself. 

 It's kind of crazy how much stuff Carrara can do, seems like every week someone else makes another discovery or unlocks another hidden feature of something no-one knew Carrara could do before. I often feel like Carrara is less of a predictable software well mapped out in manuals and more of a piece of alien technology we're all trying to reverse-engineer.  Kind of fun to unlock the puzzle.

 Carrara isn't my only app, it's just one of my favorites in the toolkit.  Ironically Daz as a company is one of my least favorites to buy from, but eh who cares about Daz, they know nothing about Carrara anyway  :)
