Hi, after not playing with Poser 5 for several months, I've picked it up again. I'm doing simple animations -- amazingly simple stuff. However I want to play with hair in an animation of a woman dancing. The probem I have with the hair is that the bangs cover the face. When I use the tool to select bangs, the tool also selects hair from the back of the fiture's head. Is there any simple way to select only the hair on the front of the object? Alternatly I could: 1- move posing camera to front view 2- enter Hair Room and select the hairs 3- go to Posing Room and move the posing camera to the side view 4- go bact to the Hair Room and deselect the unwanted part of the hair 5- go back to Posing and move the posing camera to frontal view 6- go back to Hair Room and position the hair 7- repeat for the other side of the head... Thanks John

You can move the camera from inside the Hair Room.

Some people prefer to set up multiple views: one from the front, the back, and each side.

I'll give this a try. Thanks.

A couple of other tips:

If you can, grow the hair on a skullcap, not on the actual head. Makes it a lot easier to manipulate. PhilC.net has some free skull caps, and there's also one available with this tutorial:

Check "hide other objects" when appropriate; it will keep you from accidentally grabbing the wrong object or body part.

And use the document display style palette. (Those little balls along the bottom of the screen.) "Hidden Line" will only let you select the polys you can see. "Wireframe" will let you select the polys on the other side, too.

Thanks for the help here. The multiple views really helps.
