There are many different ways to animate hair using Hair Farm. Hair Farm's
animation system is designed to deliver the needs of realistic, complicated
hairstyles that can easily be prepared using Hair Farm's revolutionary modeling pipeline.
Hair Farm's hair simulation tool respects the shape of your hair model and does
not begin distorting it with gravity as soon as you start simulating! In fact,
the simulation tool does not change the shape of your hair model at all until
you begin moving the hair object around or applying external forces (other than gravity).
Some simulation results using different parameters.
While the hair simulation system of Hair Farm permits simulating the motion of
complicated hairstyles efficiently, you can also use existing
animation tools in 3ds Max. Hair Farm allows you to rig and animate hair using
a bone structure. If you like, you can use standard modifiers of 3ds Max to
animate hair as well as space-warps. Furthermore, you can also use the existing
dynamics tools in 3ds Max, such as cloth simulation, to animate hair generated
by Hair Farm.
The rich variety of animation options available in Hair Farm allows you to do
many things that are very difficult or even impossible to do with any other
hair software.

Since I've been able to use this plugin for a few weeks,
I have to say I'm so TOTALLY happy with how it's turned out. It exceeded my expectations in
every way possible.
