I had problems with the dynamics because I didn't spend much time with them... I figure they're a bit more complicated than most things I'm used to, which is a lot. My first suggestion is to have the entire scene set before adding dynamics, then go slowly, adding them in increments to see how it "takes". It will take a while to calculate repetitively until you get the "feel" for it, I think. My second suggestion is to "clothify" the hair in the cloth room, if that's possible. I haven't tried it yet, but I think it's a worthy experiment. :) Paul
