Hi, I need a short hairstyle or a complete hair pkg for Vicky but I want to render it in Cinema 4D. Are the hair pkgs rendered OK in other software besides Poser? Any suggestions about which one to get? Much thanks, archrendr

Are we talking Poser5 or transmapped hair? Transmapped hair will render perfectly in other programs with a little work(grouper from freestuff will help greatly). The new Poser5 hair will not export into a usable form at all for now.

the best free hair can be found in a couple of places we have Studio Maya http://digitalcrafts.e.fiw-web.net/ & Digital Babes http://digitalbabes2.com/ the best of the short hairstyles are at Digital Babes, Kozaburo is a genius when it comes to transmapped hair :)

Hi and thanks, I guess I'm talking about transmapped hair for P4. Sorry I don't yet understand how that works....I'm going to guess that it is just an object mapped with a hair-like transparency - no actual geometry that shows as opaque....Yes? How would that work in another 3D soft like Cinema 4D? Just put it into both the color and the alpha channels??? Thanks again.

you're spot on with that tho I'm not sure how you do it in Cinema, haven't tried it yet :)

Thank you - maybe I can figure it out.....only takes a little time. Archrendr

Transmapped hair has real geometry. It is fit to the head in Poser. The textures are applied the same as for any other geometry you have. The transparency map goes in the renderer's alpha channel, yes. Some hairs have several layers, each of which is transmapped which can make it a bit complex but hair is basically handled the same as any other object for 3d rendering. (except Poser 5 hair)

thanks Spit, you explained it far better than I did :)
