In these lessons we'll be looking at how to simulate hair through the use of nCloth. We'll be touching on workflow ideas that will help you become platform independent. You will be able to take animation cache from any supporting package and then use nCloth for hair simulation. We'll also be talking about solving common problems such as animation collisions and topology layout.

By the end of this training you'll be able to take animations from just about anywhere and build a reusable simulation rig to create complex secondary animation using nCloth in Maya.
