Animate your fur or hair

Once you have created your groom, you can move to the animation stage.

Workflow	Description
Lock your groom	Lock your groom before starting any animation.
Create skinning nodes	Deform fur by binding to curves or meshes. Skinning deformers allow you to drive your groom with animation rigs or simulation.
Create guide curve deformers	Use curves to control the animation of hair strands within the furset.
Create intersectors	Create instances of geometry that trim strands to prevent them from visibly penetrating other surfaces.
Create volume selections	Use volumes to select strands intersecting with the volume.

Note

Before you animate your hair, you must detect clumps to create your guide curves with association to a specific clump. This binds the strands to the guide curves. Creating a skinning node or guide curve deformer does the same thing, but a skinning node is the better option.
