oooooo way to strawman and cherry pick your quotes, do you know what context is? I guess you do as you are going out of your way to post things out of it, you have driven more people out of that room in the few days you have been there due to the points posted above

just go to chazty and make your own - simple

to the OP

So much facepalm, so little time

If it was so simple to make things everyone would be doing it, either buy the stuff or don't, you think the vendors are going to take notice of people moaning in the forums? No, they will only listen with loss of $$$$

manleystanley - what antivirus are you using? have you contacted them to inform them that their software is producing false positives?

I have Eset NOD on the PC and Sophos on the Mac and neither have complained about any .exe from Daz

Never had an issue with any Daz installer, been using Eset NOD32 for years.

 I posted on Daz bug tracker and they have confirmed that it should work no matter which way you load it

Reported it to bug tracker :-)

 Bit of a bump on this but have had some time to explore this issue and i have found the issue, if i double click V4 or any character to load them into the scene i cant get the hair to drape, if i drag them it works.

A strange issue and i would think that it should work reguardless of how you load your figure/prop into a scene, i would report this on the bug tracker but somehow i get the feeling they will just say that draging an object to the menu on the right or into the scene window is the preferd way of adding things to the scene

 When i use a sphere it works fine, if i use a default character say M4 or V4 it doesn't, and that's with the same default settings, both C7 and C8 give me this issue, haven't tried it on a mac yet.

As for the C8 update is there one newer than .145 ? If so i best go get it :-)

 i lowered all settings and nothing worked, yet the default settings did work if i did a fresh scene using a vertex sphere, i'm wondering if it could have been because i used morphs on the V4 figure before i did the hair, or maybe i need to use a hair cap.

I have only just started looking into dynamic hair so its all a bit new to me still :-)

 dynamic hair should be, its not one i bought its some i am adding to the character

 The default under C7 is set to 0.01ft, same for C8 but its not ticked on either,  ticked it but it didn't help.

 I have tried with the default of 4 segments per hair and a hair count of  5000 and tried 25 segments per hair and a hair count of 20000 - that's under  - Hair (Per Hair Group), the section underneath - Guide Hairs (Per Hair Group) is greyed out.

Even if i enable that setting it doesn't seem to want to work under Carrara 7 Pro, yet under Carrara 8 beta i can see the guide hairs move a little bit.

All the settings are default ones, thought i best mess about with the hair first then get more into the sliders later

EDIT: just did it on a vertex object and it worked, so any idea's why it wont work if i select a character?

Thanks for the info Sueposer, time for many cups of coffee and a good clean out of the runtime can start :biggrin:
