I am using a short hair model in my animation. I imported it into VWD but right before it shows me the validate button, I get this error message: "Not enough memory size, you must change the parameters." I have 16g of ram and 4g of GPU ram. I shouldn't be running out! As for the parameters, I am at a loss. I don't where to tweek it. I am assuming it is in the parameters right after I hit the first hair button but don't know what to do!

In this case, the memory size relates to the number of springs involved in the simulation. The problem is not so much the memory in your system, but the fact that with several hundred of millions springs involved, the simulation will be to slow to be of any use. When I have this error, I'm sometime able to solve it by:

• after importing the collision and before importing the hair, I go in the bottom tab and I click on "restore default parameter"
• in the topmost tab, I click on "use spring reduction"
• then I import the hair.

Hope it helps
