[Surface detection]

Randy, Thanks for straightening me out about collision detection. Based on your response I went back into AM and noticed that when I upgraded from 11. beta 1 to 11 beta 2 I did not turn the hair dynamics back on. After turning it back on, as well as, all of the advanced options on the global panel I noticed that the Stiffness property is now missing fro my hair system? Have I missed a bit flip somewhere in the software to turn this back on?

Does anyone know if this surface detection is intended to detect actual model surfaces or be limited to model control points like it is with cloth?

I've added a slight outward curl to the bangs of a girl model I'm working using the brush feature in version 11. I suppose if you added enough control points to the hair guides and applied the right amount of kinkiness you simulate curly hair. See the 11.0 feature section http://www.hash.com/am2004/Modeling/Hair/index.htm

Arrg! No wonder I couldn't get the hair to cooperate. I've had to set the stiffness so high that it looks like my character suck his finger in a light socket. Eagerly awaiting the collision detection with beta breath.
