Hi all :)

I am just wondering if conforming hair can be converted to dynamic hair?

I know it can be done the other way i/e dynamic to conforming.

So can this be done also?

No.

Well that answer cut to the chase..LOL

Thanks

To be a bit more explanatory ;), the reason is that going from spline based hair to polygons isn't all that difficult (and supported of course).  But going from polygons to splines is nearly impossible.  You'd need to specify which strings of vertices are to be converted into splines and that would be grudge work indeed.

Thank you again. I sort of figured there was a catch that sounded like too much work..LOL

I was thinking about some of my Bice hair in general. Which is really good as conforming long styles. They do nice work, but never release any dynamic hair. Or even answer mail most times  :rolleyes:

Oh well, somebody will in time :)

Can you not do it via the cloth room?  (Runs off to experiment...)

Waits for William to run back ..heh heh

This appears to be a terrible idea.  I'm guessing most modern conforming hair models are too poly intensive to make good dynamic simulations...or at least a sim that doesn't take a year just to drape, let alone simlulate.

In short, Poser chokes.  Unless I'm doing something wrong, always a possibility

I agree, William..anything is possible :)

I've had some modest success - but technically, this isn't dynamic hair. It's dynamic cloth, mapped to look hair-like. :)

Wow Bob, that's pretty cool, nice concept. I bookmarked the page :)
