Arrrggghhh! If I still had any hair, I'd be pulling it out! I gave up on simulating the loincloth (I fitted it as best I could and will touch up in Photoshop; if I ever get that far) and have "progressed to the hair. I follow the user guide, "Simple Hair Simulation". I created a random animation, ending with the pose I want at frame 50 - leaving a further 10 frames to settle. When the dynamic simulation finishes and VWD closes automatically (I went back to trying dynamic as static was giving me nothing. "Send to Poser" or "Stop static simulation did nothing for the hair). I now have a hair prop that remains stationary in mid air, where the hair started;

Yes, the hair was conformed to V4 before starting the simulation. What am I doing wrong now??! Yeah, I'm getting frustrated...... sorry

Other questions: When doing a hair sim, I get to the point where I press Show hair vertices and then start looking for a button entitled Max distance. Has this button's name been changed to Selection distance? In the current user guide, I'm told that a value between 5000 to 10000 is generally OK; but the default value is 0.5. Or should I be looking at the Using [800] vertices? area where [800] is a figure that can be changed..........? Anyone who has the time........ help..........please.......
