I'm going to add my voice to this message in praise of P5. So many people are very quick to put this product down when, in reality, it is worth every penny (or cent). I've created some scenes in P5 that would have been impossible in P4... I'm proud of my investment and I certainly cannot say that about most of the software I have purchased! P5 Rocks!

I have had a quick 'play' with this idea but it does have a problem... Because most transmapped hair props are double sided the collision routines for the cloth get somewhat confused (as far as i'm aware collisions are only calculated using the back face of the objects) and also some of the vertices on the hair prop can be inside the figures head - further straining the calculations. As I said, I had a quick play and with a little carefull use of the constrained group reasonable results can be had but it takes a Looonnnnngggg time to calculate the simulation (because of the above mentioned reasons). Best bet is to give it a try. No doubt someone will start creating single sided transmapped hair props before too long for this very purpose. hmmmmm..... thinking about that.... time for a little 3ds work me thinks!

Thanks for the tips/info guys. I just wanted to check that it wasn't me doing something wrong. I'll send of a bug report to CL. BTW... Just out of interest it seems some people have this problem and some don't - I'm using Windows XP pro with SP1 installed, 512Mb RAM, Atlon 1.2Ghz Thunderbird processor - the system was home built. Dunno if my setup makes any difference.

About 80% Yes - CL needs to get some more of those bugs knocked on the head tho. I'm hoping they will release an SP2 but it worries me that they will lose interest and move on to Poser 6 (take for example the cross-talk bug in Poser 4 that was never fixed - among others). If they stick with it and sort out all the problems and don't just abandon it P5 will be far and away an excellent piece of software.
