Loft NURBS with about five splines, mirrored with a Symmetry object. Another Loft NURBS used to make the tousle on the left front. It ain't much, but it's my first using C4D. I tried this with Ray Dream years ago and gave up.

Here's the render. As you can see I need to adjust the scalpline on the tousle.

Nearly forgot; texture/transmap by Allas. I was too lazy to cook one of my own while struggling with the NURBS.

Neat. It has potential for sure :o)

Encouraging results. I'll bet you're pleased with how easy it was. Heh... pretty soon you'll be giving Maya a run for the money. Good for you!

Needs some work, but its certainly NOT crap :-) I need to try that spline /loftnurb method in Cinem4DXL 8.2

pretty cool actually, better than I can do...someday I'll be brave and try to model. BTW, my husband says it's an ugly hat;) (before you jump on me folks... it's a joke)

yeah man.....now thats crapy hair.....heh... ;)

Good start Duane :) The textures were Catharina's (she gave me permission to distribute them with my first hair). I wrote a tutorial ages ago on using loft nurbs for an updo type hair, the best tip that I have learned since is to set Cinema's import/export settings (under file) for obj to 500, then untick al the boxes apart from the "flip normals" when importing to Poser, then your model will be sized correctly and easier to handle in Cinema. Alla

Now that's irony. Here I am searching the web for how to do morph targets in C4D when I trip across your tutorial and I get the inspiration to do the above from following it. ...but I lost patience with making the updo when it started to look more like this. So, I guessed I could use loft NURBS to make the onion skins that Yamato/Kozaburo's tutorial advises, and followed that. I went through all my hair maps until I found the only one that wasn't subdivided or had holes cut out of it by the transmap. And I ended up using yours/Catharina's. BTW, I didn't do anything special when exporting the hair to OBJ. I used 999 for the export scale because that's what I used when importing the V3 head OBJ, imported it at 15% figure size and the only thing I noticed was that it had to be X-shifted .003 to center back on the head. Looks like the normals came out OK; the map appears on both sides of the geometry. Assuming that DAZ|Studio doesn't end transmapped hair as we know it, I may do a tutorial on the specific technique I used in C4D with megaprops to you and Yamato/Koz. Essentially all it consists of is drawing the "scalpline" spline, the "finish" spline, then modifying three drag-copies of those splines to "rise1", "rise2", and "swoop" and painfully tweaking the splines in 3 dimensions to cover the head. In case anyone cares, this is ultimately what I'm aiming for, then I'd like to attempt some anime 'dos for a friend of mine doing a webcomic.

See link.

So, I should have been making vertical splines instead. Intriguing.
