I've got a character with about 30 strands of stylized hair I created using beveled splines. I really have no interest in animating these individual strands using hooks, but I do want a situation where the hair stays on the head when I pose the character, and where I can possibly tweak the individual splines, depending on the pose. (I'm trying to avoid any possible clipping)
In my imagination, I figured I could just parent the strands (curves) to the head, rig the head to the armature, and the strands would follow when I moved the head, but no dice. I really don't want to rig up all these strands with hooks if I don't have to! Editing them using the splines is so much easier than trying to convert them all to meshes and rigging them up individually.
Any ideas?
