Animating CC Hair
by Eric Mousel (Television) on Feb 21, 2008 at 11:54:31 pm

Today I used CC Sphere to make a tennis ball out of a flat 2D image. And it looked great, but needed a little texture. So I duplicated the layer (along with CC Sphere attached to it) and added the CC Hair effect. Once again things looked great!

Now here's where the trouble starts. My tennis ball (sphere) has a subtle rotation animated to it. When previewed the tennis ball rotates as I'd like but the texture does not follow and thus remains static and unacceptable.

Both layers have the CC Sphere effect and both layers have the same keyframes in the same places for the rotation. I've tried simple pre-comping, parenting and such but no luck. I cannot get the hair to "stick" to the tennis ball sphere and move together.

I'm guessing a simple expression will likely fix this but that is currently beyond the horizon of my skills.

Cheers to whoever has the answer!
