Valea used to have a good tutorial on how to make traditional transmapped hair in Hexagon on the PoserPro forums, but I don't know what ever became of it :( Was very good - she makes a shape and uvmaps it first BEFORE shaping it on the head. I do have 16 gigs of ram on this machine and I suppose folks with less would have a harder time of it I guess.Īs for hair, there are already many suggestions for fibermesh hair. LOL, I have already used the Whiskers product on G3M (fibermesh beard), Redz Oh My Body Hair, Oh My Lashes and Oh My Brows, as well as some of (I think her) head hair and had narry a slowdown ). Traditional ribbon based hair is so unrealistic but realistic looking fibre hair such as (the excellent) products from RedzStudio will slow posing in the viewport to an annoying degree because of the huge number of polygons added to the scene. Zbrush fibermesh is probably the easiest to go, with the GOZ easy to transfer as well :)Įxpensive of resources, especially for longer hair I expect? I'm sorry that this isn't the answer you're looking for but perhaps you can take comfort in the thought that none of us get the answer we're looking for with these more difficult questions in DAZ. The best solution, IMO, is to simply put the hours in with Blender, ZBrush, Maya, etc and find something that works for YOU. So if you want to make hair and are looking for an off-the-shelf solution, you're in for a long and frustrating hunt. You are face with either making ribbon type hair, for which you have to come up with a killer texture to hide it's nature, or you have to spend a lot of time in a modeller creating finer hair, whose poly count is going to dog your DAZ when it comes to posing. There really isn't any getting around this. As stated above, to make really GOOD hair takes a lot of work and the vertex count (poly count for those of you who are DAZ based) is extremely high. What do I mean by that? I mean that hair by it's very nature is complicated. Yes this is a pet peeve of mine, and in the interest of not peeving myself, let me just state that hair is one of those things when it comes to DAZ which isn't mature. I still continue to look here but it is a fustrating experience. I want to know how to create hair too, but no one here seems to want or be able to state how to get started, it seems everyone that replies assumes the questioner has vast experience and knowledge which seems so silly given that we are asking the question, 'HOW.?' A Simple question cannot get a simple answer here. This forum seems unwilling to help anyone LEARN how to do things only comment as you outlined. There are quite a few elaborate tutorials on YouTube for creating hair in Blender but I have yet to see really good tutorials on how to make a good elaborate hair style in LAMH. ARE THERE ANY TUTORIALS out there that really shows you or explains the process of creqting hair. And as soon as the person answers if they are even close enough to know what type of hair it is they want then conversation always goes on how difficult it is or what program is best or worse but never doesnt anyone every get to explaiing the steps of starting the process of creating the hair. Well that depends on the type of hair you are wanting to make. I can't even find out how to get a skull cap or if you have to make one, hoe do you make one?Įverytime the question is asked, 'How do you create hair?' or 'How do you make hair for a model?' etc, It's always the same reply. I mean I can't even find any decent tutorials on it. Everyone always going off on one thing or another and never sticking to the main quest of 'HOW DO YOU CREATE HAIR' if there are different ways then please elaborate on the different ways not just start talking about how many several ways there are and what it takes to do each one or a certain type of one.

I have been wanting to try my hand at hair myself but can never find straight forward amswers.
