[Problem with hair - Five point patches are bald]

The 'normal' is the 'direction' of the patch. You may see hair growing inside the body on those 5 pointers.

 

First turn off particles - Shift 8.

 

To see the normals, click Tools Menu > Options. On the Modelling Tab, tick Display Normals. You will now see yellow lines coming out of the center of the patches. If the 5 pointers do not have a yellow line coming out, then they are turned inwards. Click the Patch Tool (Shift P), and click on the Patch. Press the F key to reverse the direction of the patch. The yellow line should now be coming out of the model.

 

Turn off Display Normals through the Options, and turn on particles - Shift 8, and you should see hair.

 

 

Thanks Caroline!!! that was a big HELP!!

[Changing movie play time]

I created a movie that I thought looked good in a 3 min Choreography window. After rendering it and watching it as a movie, 3 mins makes it look like it is in slow motion. Is there anyway to Fast Forward the movie for rendering? I want the same movie to take only 1 min and not 3 min. Hopefully I do not have to rebuild the entire movie again. I am using V11

The college I work for is looking for for some completed models. I don't have the time or knowledge to create the models needed. Is there a post somewhere that these details can be posted for bid.
