Quote - Take care of yourself first. The hair room will still be there when you're up to it.

I'm fine now.  No worries.  Whatever it was just had me messed up on Sunday.

The two hair-positioning methods shown above can be useful for certain sorts of things, but after trying to use them to make something, I realize a method is needed to sweep the selected hairs more directly along the path.  I'm trying to work out something which will allow one to place the markers around the surface of the parent object (or anything underneath the hair) and have the hairs end up following that path.  As close to drawing the hair path directly around an object as might be possible in Poser.  Or such is my hope, at least.

This involves the predictable conceptual problems as I try to work out how to implement it.  :unsure:  So my big problem today is just trying to re-space the vertices of the hairs properly after I've redefined the endpoint of the hair.  I'm still overlooking something which is key to achieving this.  Grumble.

But I'm really fine, otherwise.

Thanks for the comments, jancory and NanetteTredoux.  I hope I can get something together which will be useful and fairly accessible.  I don't want something which is as awkward as the existing tools, just in a different way.  :lol:

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking.  He apologizes for this.  He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.

Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below.  His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.
