ive had a lot of problems with resetting dynamics in maya-- when i change a value like gravity or stiffness and go back to 1 or 0 on the timeline it doesn't always reset. I have to often hit the "go to start of playback range" button multiple times for any changes to have an affect. why is this? am I doing something wrong?

Hi,

Sorry for the delay. We are aware of this issue and this was already solved in Ornatrix V2. Version 1 is no longer in development (Unless we find critical crashes) and the Dynamics operator is being replaced by our new hair simulation operator called Moov. If you are using V2 in Moov you should no longer experience this bug. I hope this helps.

gotcha, so Moov is the replacement for dynamics? dynamics is basically depricated?

 

If this is the case I would love more documentation on how Moov works. I thought Moov was meant for people who use python scripting for dynamics. 

You can keep using Dynamics node but it will not be developed further.

Moov's documentation will be online when Ornatrix V2 for Maya is released. Moov do have the option to make your own Python scripts for hair simulation, but it also have an UI to create simulations using parameters.

I see. Is there a projected release date for v2? 

 

Also is it possible to use nhair for the sim? Ncloth is cool but really heavy especially with a lot of hairs.
