Subject: A Bad Hair day - or I have a hair problem

I have used a magnet on the Vicky Gelhair. As you can see in the picture it shows up when rendered on the back view but not the front... It clearly overlaps the body when viewed from the back.. I just know there is going to be a simple explanation for this... I just don't happen to know what it is. Any suggestions on why this is happening and any solutions to make it show from the front as well, gratefully accepted.

Maybe the trans map renders in invisible from the front?

It is the normals on the hair prop. You have morphed layer that was just intended to cover the back of the head into visibility. To be visible from both sides at least one layer facing each direction is needed. Doing this will change the number of verts and thus make it a different obj. The two face utility does not just add a new set of normals, it also duplicates the polys and doubles the file size. Open the hair prop by itself. Use the grouping tool to isolate the part you wish to see from the front. export this as a prop. Import it back,and reverse the normals - make sure it is in place and save the combination as a new hair prop.

Thanks Jaager.. I have made a copy of this for reference.. Sometimes it takes a few re-reads for things to sink in.. I appreciate your help..
