Syflex quezzie 2005-04-06 - By Brad Friedman
Back
when I do ponytails I just syflex a ribbon.
then I break up the high res hair geometry into clusters.
The part that stays with the head gets enveloped to the head control.
The part that is the ponytail gets cage deformed to the syflex ribbon.
Make sure the syflex node is in the animation part of the stack and not
in the modeling part of the stack or this wont work correctly.
this is very similar to your situation I think and the same technique
should work.
the pin and the nail should work as well however... unless your head is
not 100% weighted to the same controller you are nailing to.
