Yes that is exactly the advice I followed and it worked every time after that!

When setting up fuzz for animation it automatically set's up "cage strands"(if that's what you were thinking of under "cage deform"?) compound. So yes it's in my setup. I am also caching strands and not simulating them. It is so not predictable for me. Sometimes it works, sometimes not, so if you have anything that might help I would really appreciate it! Thanks.

Works like a charm as long as you aren't doing dynamics! Let me know if you need a scene file or a diagram etc...

I've seen tests on vimeo with fuzz animation(https://vimeo.com/91257776). Did anyone had luck setting it up for animation without any flicker here? Thanks.

Still flickering!!! I'll investigate further... With smaller strand count but the problem seems not to be consistent with smaller strand count if I remember correctly.

Thanks for suggestions everyone. Ivan On Sat, Jul 26, 2014 at 5:43 PM, Busty kelp <p...@bustykelp.com<mailto:p...@bustykelp.com>> wrote: Cache out the strands and it should work.

Rendering in local goes fine. Cheers.
