Subject: How do I turn a hair prop into a figure?

I have created a hair model for poser with all its morphs, I was wondering how do I put it all together and turn it into a figure or even a hair prop, I noticed all the other hair creators use either figures or hair props, whats the benefits also of turning it into a figure?

Hair props are just regular props. When you place the hair prop in the Hair folder, it is assumed to be parented to the Head of the figure. Some hair has 'handles' and multiple body parts in order to be more flexibly shaped. In these cases, it needs to be a figure (props cannot have 'handles' or body parts). Unless there is an overwhelming need to make the hair into a figure, I wouldn't. It's work and should only be done as necessary.

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.

thanks for your help, I still have to figure out how to get the prop into the hair folder, when I try to save it there it comes up empty.

  • Load a figure that will take the hair. Make sure that the figure does not have a hair prop already. Delete it if it does. - Import your object. - Move it to the desired location on the figure (if not already there). - Parent the object to the figure's Head (Object->Set Parent) - Texture it if necessary. - Select the hair prop. - Open the library and select the Hair library. - Click on the '+' sign to add to the library. - Give it a name and save.
