Hi everyone, I'm following this tutorial on modeling hair: https://www.digitaltutors.com/tutoria...with-Maya-Hair

And well, I've completely hit a roadblock. Here are the steps I took:

1. Created a NURBS hair surface to make a basic blocked out shape.

2. Ran many CV curves down the NURBS object - these curves would be where the hairs grow out.

3. Created a simple plane, selected it and clicked "Create Hair" under the Hair tab. Hairs grew out of the plane, and therefore I now have a new hair system called "hairSystemShape1".



4. Selected all the CV curves of my soon-to-be hair. Clicked "To Hair Systems" so that I could select the new hairSystemShape1 system to assign to my CV curves.



5. Nothing happens at all. No hairs grow out and I'm not shown any option to select a hair system.

I desperately need help on this since it's due in a week. I'm not sure if this has to do with the problem, but the tutorial I'm following seems to be an earlier version than 2013, which is what I'm using.
