I have split the hair caps into diffferent pieces to make grooming easier, I have been doing soem tests and can't make them interact, is this possible or am i missing something?

Thanks!

Hi,

At the moment this is not supported in Ornatrix. Moov Physics can only interact with collision meshes and force fields. Maybe you can accomplish this by converting one of the two hair objects to polygons using Mesh from Strands, then use it a collision mesh for the second hair object. But that is not something that we have tested.

Ok thanks. I actually have about 5 objects i have created this groom on. I may have to rethink a way i can create this on 1 piece, but i find it gets a bit fiddly.

How do people usually go about adding physics to a complex hair setup?

I guess it depends on the production. Some users use cloth simulation or integrate Ornatrix with other simulation systems. Maybe you can try cloth simulation if you want multiple hair objects to interact between them.
