Greeting All,
What is the best way to convert great conforming hair models (such as: Michael's Long Conforming Hair by Michael Lane) for use with Michael 3? I appreciate any help the community can offer...

Hi TS, Sometimes hair makers will provide a pose that will reset the hair for the V3/M3 versions but if one is not available here's what I usually do with V3. Make sure M3 is in a zeroed pose, bring in the hair figure and switch its display to cartoon mode so you can see it better (if it has a transparency), then select the Body of the hair figure and position it on M3's head as you like, you may want to scale depending on your figure's proportions. Once you have it in the position you like then parent it - don't conform it. You will at least be able to get some use of it since conforming will not work on a figure with such different JP's. Hope this helps, John

Thanks Jon...I appreciate it.

a sloppy but effecient way is to 1)load the M3 blank, zero his hip and body and all parts. Only every single part including HIP and Body is zero do Memorize>Figure(this is so it will conform properly to another M3 2) Load the hair and position it perfectly. 3) export hair and reimport it as an obj 4)Parent to the zeroed blank's head inheriting bend properties of the head 5)Made the M3 blank invisible by unchecking all the eyeball icons in the heirarchy window leaving only the hair visible 6)select figure and save into library with a Hairdo name. Load the invisible figure and conform that to M3. Hope that helps, Anton
