Hi. There's a lot of great hair out there, but it always seems to be parted on the right side. I've been looking for a while for hair for Mike 1/2 that is parted on the left side. I'm especially interested in short, medium to dark brown hair, preferably with a KOZ-level texture map/realism level (gee, I'm not picky at all, am I? ;-) ). Thanks in advance for any suggestions! -Mike

Why not just flop the rendered image in Photoshop?

or make an inverted morph for the hair.

Thanks for the replies! randym: the Photoshop flip works, but only if the face in the image is wholly symmetrical. The one I'm trying to do this with isn't, but I'll definitely keep it in mind for other renders.

Lord Lucan: that's a very intriguing idea. I'm not really familiar with creating morphs. How would I go about doing that using Poser 4 Pro Pack for Mac? Can it be done? I don't really have any other programs I can use to flip stuff with.

Thanks again :-) -Mike

Don't know how to do it just in PoserPP, I use ZBrush for morphing usually. If you've seen Kozaburo's site - looking at your post I see you have - he has (on request) made inverted morphs for some of his hair. I'm sure someone will know If it can be done purely in PPP. Hold on!

This always works for me.

Engelken: I think this might be just what I've been looking for! Thanks! :-) -Mike

Oops, I spoke too soon. Don't know why not, but it's not working...maybe I'm just trying too hard, I don't know... -Mike

Hmmm. Maybe if you said which hair you were working with and which system, and what exactly was going wrong.

This was done in Poser 4 on a PC.

Won't work with a .CR2 hair type, just the .HR2 or prop-type hair. It's more likely I didn't explain it well, because it's not got a lot of places to go wrong. Let me know and I'll see where the problem is.

Looking at it, I can see I left out the part about deleting the New Prop from the project window after you export it.

I tried it, with mixed success. It ended up with some stray triangles, that makes the front look...different. (This is Koz's remap of the Male Hair 5.)

Koz notwithstanding, the Male Hair 5 is not very pretty no matter how you look at it, right or left. The way this object is remapped, it helps if you readjust how it's sitting on the head and rotate it about 4 degrees z after you mirror it.

And be sure you click on Add All and not try to catch the mesh with the grouping tool bounding box.

there is an old utility somewhere called mt mirror that might help.
