ok here's the tut in 35 easy steps (sorry I don't know how to do short tuts)

Let me start by saying, I am used to writing instructions for the computer illiterate so if I seem too basic at times forgive me. If I’m too advanced ask questions.

1. Load the figure.

2. Load the skull cap for the figure.

3. Go to the hair room.

4. Create a new hair growth group.

5. Name it bangs (if you want bangs)

6. Using the grouping tool, select about 3 rows of faces for the bangs. I find it easiest to see if I use the hidden line display style and hide the other objects in the group editor window

7. Grow hair guides. They may not show up if the hide other objects is selected. That’s fine we don’t need to see it yet.

8. Add growth groups for the left including all faces that you want going to the left pigtail and grow the hairs.

9. Add right and back groups. Overlap the groups if you don’t want much of the skullcap to show in the part.

10. I’m not sure if you’ll be able to include the back in with the pigtails, I’ll have to experiment and post that later.

11. Go back to the pose room. (I don’t know that this is necessary but I have had problems when I’ve entered the hair room with the script running)

12. You might want to have the hierarchy editor open. It helps with selecting the markers.

13. Make sure the skull cap is selected.

14. Run the hair to path script.

15. Add several hair markers. I used 9. Whatever you need to make the curve you want.

16 These are little + shapes at position 0,0,0 so if you are on the face cam you won’t see them.

16. Parent all the markers to hair_marker_0 (you don’t have to do this but it makes it easier to move them)

17. Move the hair makers up near where the head is.

18. Position the hair markers in a curving line down keeping the markers in order and have the last marker in the position of where you want the base of the pigtail to be. You can hide the hair groups while positioning markers but show the one you’re working with before running script.

19. Select the hair group for that pigtail in the select group column.

20. Click run script.

21. Rotate the hair_marker_0 180 degrees on the y axis. And move it so the last marker is where you want the other pigtail base to be. This is where having the markers parented together comes in handy.

22. Select the other group for the other side. Make sure it’s visible.

23. Hit run script again.
