[Bf-committers] (Peach) Softbody for particles needed...

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi guys,

One of the topics we can't find time for yet is this:

-> once you make hair particles editable, you cannot use forcefields on  
them anymore (or use softbody)

I do understand why (animation vs physics conflict), but simulation  
accuracy is not an issue here. What we need is just artistic control,  
as if you have an animatable 'comb' to force hairs in certain  
directions.

We need the feature at least for three cases:

- the animals are walking in grass... we want to animate the grass  
particles to move away then
- one of the rodents has big sideburn-whiskers. These hairs have to  
stick together when face animates
- every hair in the fur could use some softbody slowness effect too, as  
secondary motion

Janne, Jens, Genscher, anyone? :)
