Its been a while since I've tried the Softimage hair, but I find it so ridiculously buggy, to be almost unusable in 2013. My main issue is with the grooming. It seems like if I turn on render hairs while styling the guides, after a few moves of tips, or whole strands, that other sections of hair I've groome, suddenly pop into a different position, or straighten...
What the....? Is anyone else experiencing this, and if so I hope its on the radar to fix... Granted, there are so many other hair solution out there today, but for quick jobs like the one I needed today, I tried old school, and it bit me. Adam
