This will be interesting :) For me the grouping tutorials look easy, but when you actually try to get straight lines and decent curves, it's much much harder in reality. I still haven't been able to nail it...

Same here, PapaBlueMarlin, same here. I do find that switching camera views helps a bit, but I always seem to need to do a lot of "clean up." Anyway, this tute is already funny. A welcome and unexpected subject. Teach on, Doc!

I sure hope Doc is planning to anesthetize NSG for this tutorial. For the sake of compassion, he should have a numbskull.

In this tutorial thread, punning is one way to get a head, Considering his lack of education, It's good to see NSG going back to skull.

We just need to make sure he stays away from those anime girls in their cute little Japanese skull-girl uniforms.

Geep, thanks as always for your wonderful tutorials...would you mind explaining why we need skullcaps, as opposed to simply growing the hair right out of the head?

Hi pookah69,
You do not need skullcaps to "grow" hair on a Poser figure's head.
You can "grow" hair on anything in Poser that has 1 or more polygons.
The reason to make a skullcap and "grow" hair on it rather than the head is ...
The hair (on the skullcap) is a separate object and can be used on different figures, with proper fitting of course.
Ok?
Good question - BTW. ;=]

Is there any way to make low-res skullcaps? The lower the better, for dynamic hair. Like, 8 to 12 polygons maybe?

Vially posted Sun, 17 April 2005 at 8:25 AM
Okay, This raises some questions: 1. Is the skullcap now a savable prop? 2. Is the hair growth group only constrained to that skullcap (I.E. a part of the same prop) 3. Can the skullcap be pulled into - say 3DMax and/or Maya and altered, or does that change the dynamics of the cap/head relationship? Someone mentioned Polys, what is a good rule of thumb for a poly count in a skullcap (or any cap for that matter?)
randym77 posted Sun, 17 April 2005 at 8:55 AM
As for polys...the Genesis hair skullcap has about 200 polys. I've seen as few as 8 used. IME, CL recommended way too high a resolution back when P5 was released. The dynamic hair they included with P5 was so high-res that it didn't work properly in the Hair Room. For a long time, people thought collision detection was broken. Actually, it isn't. It works fine. You just have to use a resolution low enough so Poser doesn't choke on the calculations.
And I think CL understands that now. In P5, the skullcaps for the included dynamic hair had over 1,000 polys. That's just too much, even for the best computers. In P6, the skullcaps have only about 100 polys. Much more manageable!
Image is dynamic hair grown on the Genesis Hair skullcap. Collision detection is working, as you can see by the way the hair lies along the shoulder. If I'd gone higher-res, the hair would be passing through her shoulder at that point.
Vially posted Sun, 17 April 2005 at 5:47 PM
Thanks for the info :) Okay so I make a skullcap, I make the hair groups, then I descide that the cap needs just a little tweeking to get an area right. I pull it into 3DMax, move some things around and bring it back into Poser... What happens to the relationship between the original hair growths and the new skullcap? Is that broken basicly making it so a person has to start over in the hair growth aspect, or will they still apply as before?
randym77 posted Sun, 17 April 2005 at 5:54 PM
I think you have to start over. The exported OBJ won't have any hair info with it. So when it's brought back in, it won't have any hair info, either.
It's the same with transparency. Exported models lose transparency info.

See, now this is why I ask these questions BEFORE I spent 5 hours working on something :)
