Hi
I have been having this problem at the root of the curves defining the vellum hair
I do not understand why the first 3 points get misaligned and brake the continuity of the curve when simulated
I tried adding more points with the hair generate SOP, it does not help
I tried as well playing with the pin to animation parameters on the vellumhair1 SOP but it's not helping, the soft option gets the root point loose, and we still see the problem.
Anyone got this problem before?
Thanks
Attached are screenshots with Hair Generate segments = 20, 40, 60
Vellum hair pin animation is not smooth at the root

2 things:
- you are so wasteful with hair segments…the more you have the softer the hair will be like spaghetti…I used 8 segs instead of 60 !!!
- your collider…why soooooo high res ?, you're just gonna weigh your sim down using heavy meshes, that's why there's a concept of using proxies (lowres approximations) in sims. I lowered your sphere to Freq 4
So with these settings…works fine
raise your Freq of the collider higher…it screws up…why ? ask the techs.
raise your segment count…goodluck controlling your hair….very hard.

Thanks tamte for pointing that out
It makes complete sense, and I will make sure of that from now on, but it does not help here
I set 10 segments for a length of 0.2, so each segments is 0.02
I then set pscale to 0.005, so it's smaller than half the segment, and I still have the problem
To confirm that, I visualized the Guide Geometry Thickness, and as you can see on the screenshot it's smaller
To be sure I also copied to points a sphere and had the same result
But I followed your logic and thought that the root is sitting on the collision geometry
So and went to check the collision DOP to visualize the collision radius
It's 0.0 by default but I noticed that when you increase it, it gets worse
So I went out and shrinked my collider by 5% and it worked
And if you want the exact amount then you can use a Peak SOP with distance set to pscale (see last picture attached)
I could also offset the hair roots by the same amount instead
Anyway thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
