Allie- yes, real hair doesn't conform, but it doesn't go through the back, either! If Poser had some kind of collision detection it would be another story. This hair is giving me fits, I've got so much time in it I could cry (most of which doesn't show, I went through about 6 entirely different models and ways of constructing models, and about 10 systems of mapping before I got this far). I've moved the upper layers down and that helps, but when I added the 4th layer it sort of got worse, and now it looks like I will have to map both sides of the "inside" model with transmaps, and think of something else for the upper layers. If you move the layer models very far after mapping you get "streched" parts, which is one reason why you can't morph too far unless you remap. Josiah- No, it doesn't seem to slow down at all on mine, even with three 2048 x 1280 trans maps and four small texture maps, and I've run into the same problem- the maps have to be more transparent, which in turn means you need more of them, which in turn means... (you get the idea!)
