Hi -   I am trying to create a scene in VUE that requires a woman seated. Victoria 4 with the Pensive 02 pose is perfect.   The dynamic hair prop I created falls off when the figure is posed even tho the hair is parented to V4 head.

Here is what I have done to get into this mess: I created a skullcap prop and subdivided it in Shade 8; grew hair on the skull cap prop in the hair room and saved the skullcap and hair as a poser scene.  I then opened a new poser scene, brought in V4, added clothes and imported the scene containing the skullcap prop and hair. I tried parenting the hair to the skullcap and then the skullcap to V4 head but the hair kept separating from the skullcap or else the skull cap would turn invisible. I tried various parenting combos (with V4 in the Zero pose and in the pensive pose) but eventually gave up and deleted the skullcap and parented the hair directly to the V4 head inheriting bends from parent.

In order to prevent the long hairs from sticking into the V4 body, I calculated dynamics going from the zero pose to the pensive pose in 30 frames with collision detection on. This took about 8 hours to calculate and when it was finished the hair just fell right thru the head to end up around her upper chest.

Is the above workflow reasonable or is there a better way? Why do parented items sometimes behave in unexpected ways?   I'm sure there is a trick to this - I just haven't figured it out yet.
