object-colliding -with ball

[channel-blame]

Hi Dr. Sassi, how are you?, long time-I'm having a heck of a time, trying to do something, that shouldn't be this heard, yet here I am ;(- How can I get a sphere like object, to fall and "bend" some of the hairs? ultimately, I want about 8-10 spheres, they will be other objects, but for the sake of an example, hairs lining a cylinder, about 5000, I'm never sure on which tags to use; can you please help me?, I'm thinking of having these "spheres" drop down a bit, and colliding with the hairs; thank you so much in advance, for your help, Best, Craig

Hi Craig,

Thanks, I'm fine, I hope you have a good time as well.

Here is a quick example, so you can tell me what works and what needs to be changed.

Of course, I can encourage you to check out the documentation, as Hair Dynamic has some options.
