I was wondering if any P5 users have tried to turn a hair object into cloth? Is this possible?
I gave it a try with Vickie's flip hair. Starts out great for 7 frames or so of the simulation, hair drapes very naturally over shoulders, etc..., then locks. Would this work with a 'simpler' hair object - fewer verts?
Thanks

Hi yes you can do this and it works good. But and a big But P5 cloth needs to keep moving once it reached the point it can no longer drape or it pokes through enough to stop it from moving it will drop out. so for a still fraim shot make the draping short enough that is move to the end of the fraims. or keep the charicter in motion through out the animation stoping only long enought for the hair to settle them move it again or it will stall. hope this helps Laters vel

Valen, any images you can post for examples? I'd love to see the results of such a technique.

One thing to remember, some hair objects "fll apart" when clothified, because the various parts do not have welded vertices... they're not "attached" to each other in any way the program can recognize.
