Working on a small clip and FINALLY figured out most of this process but I still cant figure out how to "render" an animation!  In the sample I finally had her shirt texture placed in preview as well as the sign and they showed up but for the life of me cannot get the hair to show other than than what you see.  am I missing something?...can anyone point me to a tutorial that might help?......I did render it as a movie and it came out fine with sound etc..except for the hair.....same as when I rendered it to single frames.....but I think I'm not getting all the effects I could by setting the textures on preview.  Also does any one have any suggestions for settings when rendering/making an animated movie. I know.....a lot of questions, but thanks for any advice!
