using the sim
- In the rig Ui in the toolbar, you need to turn on sim for the hair. Note: you can do anything between 0-1, 1 is full sim, 0 is no sim. any hair anim will get mixed with the sim in between 0 and 1
- start from frame 1 and hit alt-a to see the results.
- if you are unsatisfied, you can pick from different 'sim sets' currently, there are 3 for the ponytail and 2 for the front lock/bangs.
- Hit alt-a to see the sim in action; make sure you start on frame 1.
- To bake the result of the Sim, and speed up playback, you have to follow a complicated procedure, described below.
