Working with hair....

[noober]

Well I'm in the process of using hair to create foilage. So far so good. Now I need to model a vine. I was thinking of using splines to simulate the vine. can i use a single spline as an emitter?" One more question... Can an emmited object be given more flex points like an emmited streak?

can i use a single spline as an emitter?"

 

Yes, when you use the 'Shag Emitter', sometimes refered to as 'the old hair-system' but when using the newer 'Hair System', you need surface(patch(es)).

You probably want the 'Hair System' for foliage use, but I don't know which planet you're going to dress-up

 

Can an emmited object be given more flex points like an emmited streak?

 

If you mean splinage-density, yes.

Else if you mean more than one material, 'like another e.g. streak-material', yes.

I would not use hair to model a vine. Try using the plugin sweeper. You will have better results

Sorry. My bad. I guess i read it to fast. Still i would advise using the plugin sweeper if you want to model any type of vine. There is a good tutorial on the sweeper site.
