Having read the threads about the difficulties of Dynamic Hair, I thought I would add some imput. I have learned a relatively easy method of animating dynamic hair. My hair does not penetrate the body and it is quick to simulate. It is also a little quicker to render. Not only does it work well for animation, it also works great for still shots. Hopefully, the enclosed animation derived from Nerd's Walk Designer, will help to illustrate the possibilities. If anyone would be kind enough to host me, I would share the method and tools for free.

Great... will it be a sort of tutorial ? Or a python script ? Or something else ?

Thank you all for your help and suggestions. I have to get started putting this all together. It will consist mainly of a tutorial with hair and mesh included. There are alot of surprising things that I found in working with dynamic hair, and I hope it proves to be benificial to those who are interested. I will post here when it is available. Thanks again.

Looks very effective. Is it Poser 5 hair formed in the Hair Room or mesh hair that you have "clothified" in the Cloth Room?

It is Poser 5 hair formed in the Hair Room connected to a scullcap mesh that I modeled. The mesh was designed for speed in the simuation process. However, the placement of the mesh is very different,and this is what adds to the realism.

Man, that looks great. I haven't had much success animating hair. I'd love to know your secret!
