Good news guys!! Paul's trick works if you pay attention to how he does
it and connect the multiplies the right way around :)
Sandy: My fur is mostly based on the triggerfish/melena fur you guys
shared, but the store groom didn't hold up for my stuff for some reason.
Thanks for the input guys.
Once again my ass is saved :)

Gerbrand,
Why do you not just use the Melena stuff to create the strands? The
Store Groom etc... depends on a bunch of attributes that are set by
melena and also the way the melena strands are generated is a bit
different to the normal ice way of generating strands - they setup
arrays of pointpositions and strandpositions, so this is probably why
the store is not working.
The easiest way I would think of is to do the Softimage hair, combed
down the arm, then run the melena stuff and maybe grab the Triggerfish
nodes is you want to use dynamics, otherwise just stick with melena.
Cheers

Thanks for the reply Vladimir
It does seem to be my problem, but the fix Paul is demonstrating
doesn't work for me.
Anyone else?
Thanks guys

it's a common problem which isn't always easy to solve :)

Hey guys
I've created fur on a character with ICE strands, and I've
combed it with a vector field.
Now when I animate the character, the vector field doesn't
rotate with the deformation of the envelope.
The vector field is frozen, and the ice strands are created on
frame 1, and simulated there after.
I also have the melena "store groom" and "restore groom" in
place, but it's not working out.
Here are a few pics to show the problem.
these are the right vectors
but this is what happens if I animate the arm.
