Hey Will, I think they attach rig to a simulated hair strand... I'm not quite sure but heard something like that. Also MT_springs = Gear Springs. It's part of the contribution from Helge to Gear. The code is open source by the way, so it shouldn't be too difficult to port it to Maya. Good luck in

Hello, I posted this at maya_he3d google group but there is so little traffic, only 2 posts over there today and I think they were all from me! I wonder if you all could shed some light on spring dynamics in Maya, maybe something similar to mt springs or the cool spring solvers in gear. What are

Ahhh, awesome. Cheers for the heads up, i managed to solve it with some stupid workaround, but ill give rebuilding the tree with this solution a shot, as it seems like a much cleaner option. Again, thanks for the heads up. Ogi. On Fri, Aug 1, 2014 at 4:26 AM, Ho Chung Nguyen wrote: > For th

There are a few limitations in comparison with the options available to crate. Having it tied to an ice tree isn't working for me in soft, would much prefer it to be implemented in the same way as the other caching tools through cache manager/anim mixer. On 1 August 2014 11:15, Simon Reeves wr
