Hair Guides

How exactly do you make hair guides? Ive seen images of screenshots that have guides for the hair (paricles) to follow. do they use a curve and then set it to poly, or is there a different way?

They’re curves set to curve guide in the particle panels.

They’ll be mostly obsolete for hair sooner or later. Jahka’s working on a particle edit mode with tools for brush manipulation of particles.

Select the Curve and in F7, Physics Buttons, Fields and Deflection tab select ‘Curve Guide’.

The curve guide needs to be in the same layer as the hair particles too.

OK, now i use the min falloff to control how much of the particle is affected and can add several guides to create the flow of the hair. now when i move these guides around will i be able to move the hair around? also would i be able to put a wind effect on the particles system and still have the curve guides affect the hair? and finally, how long until the brush manipulation is released? Ive read about the new sculpting feature in blender 2.43 and cant wait to try that but man that brush manipulation sounds like a walk in the park!!
