here i have compared hair with different parents... the standard hair with head as parent... and hair with neck as parent...they both have their good and bad points ... i think the neck works better ... what do you think? {pssst: i didnt have any long hair so i just scaled the hair i had on the y axis odviously this isnt the way to make long hair...shhhhh dont tell nobody lets see if anybody chews me up 'cause it dont look right...}

Y'all have a great day.

Woo-hoo - that looks very very impressive JAFO. The neck as parent certainly looks more realistic - I assume that "inherit bends" is on? Paul

(they both have their good and bad points) i retract that statement...i really dont see any good points to having the head as parent :O)

Y'all have a great day.

yes paul inherit bends is on

Y'all have a great day.

Cool, this may be a fairly important discovery - along the lines of Darth's discovery of "gravity". I'm very impressed. Paul

works pretty good with sleveless shirts with chest as parent and short pants {hip}also ... maybe better than conforming... but thats my openion...i could be wrong...been wrong before

Y'all have a great day.

Hey, the neck parent thing looks good! I've always hated the straight movement of hair. Good Job.

whoa, cooooool.....!! who'da thunk it? :)

Neat idea, thanks for pointing it out PhilC

Head as parent looks better when then bend the neck down in this example. But I suspect it would be the reverse in a hair actually designed to be long. Darth's discovery of 'Gravity'? I missed that one.

Truth has no value without backing by unfounded belief.

both head and neck are bent/twisted in these examples i find that if i need to turn/bend the head say 40 degrees it looks better{to me} if i bend/twist both head and neck an equal amount head/20 neck/20 which is what i did in the above example, the only diference in either example is the parenting nothing else was changed

Y'all have a great day.

Hi Folks! Y'all are doing tremendous things to advance the boundaries of what is possible with low-end 3D graphics and animation software!! Isn't this a great time to be alive?!? Peter (Dr Zik)

arcady: essentialy: put an object way below the ground plane and anything you Point At it will 'hang' from wherever it is. It's cool. Dr Zik: yes, this is in fact a good time to be alive. BTW, Curoius labs has promised a 4.03.
