ODE dynamics crashes?

HI. I'm having two problems with dynamics. WHen using dynamics there's no way I can mantain the original combed position of the guides when i simulate, instead the hair just falls messing up the entire hairdo. I tried changing the spring parameters from 0 to 100000 but it stays exactly the same. I'm using the v2 demo for this.

The second problem is that in previous versions using the ODE dynamics (V2 doesnt have it) i adjusted the felxibility and had some good results. I really liked it. But when I set up any kind of collision (External or internal) the program would crash. The program is really cool and I would like to purchase it some day but if I cant deal with dynamics then it's useless to me.

SO, is anyone having the same problems as I am and how can I solve them? THanks!

 

Another thing, in v2.1.6.0 I can't find massFX dynamics... where is it? is it a modifier?

Hello,

 

Using Bendiness, Spring and Mass you can get you the resutl you are looking for. It is not however as easy as we would like. Its scene size and segment dependant. We are currently working on making it easier to "hold" the hair style. In the next build (later this week) it should be simpler to achieve this quickly :) 

 

OX Dynamics is uses Mass FX. To simulate just use the Mass FX simualte options. 

 

Thanks
