Hi folks, 2 new short style hairs from me, available in the DAZ PA store category now. These two were actually a couple of months apart in the making, since March, but just got released together. :)

Thanks for looking :)

Very nice, April, thanks.
They've already gone through my checkout :)

Are there fits for Apollo?

Rocker boys!!! How wonderful :P

Thanks :)

Quote - Are there fits for Apollo?

Sorry there isn't a preset for Apollo.  At this point the best I can do is tell you how to fit it.  Prop hairs (hr2) are easy to refit (conforming hairs, cr2, are not as easy because of the conforming work.)

1. Firstly move the hair to sit on the new character's head.
2. Then use the scale x/y/z to fit it on the head.
3. Use the x rotation to move the hairline up or down the forehead. I used this for the e-frontier characters because their foreheads seemed really high wearing my hairs originally modelled for daz foreheads.

Normally that's enough for most prop hairs available, but if the hairline is visible you need step 4:

1. Finally use the 3 morphs mentioned below* to fit the hairline closer to the character. Eg. Aiko has a small neck (snTaper 1), Freak has a huge neck (snTaper 2 or 3)... the mil kids and the efrontier characters have narrower forehead temples (snTaper 2 or 3.)

• I have three morphs for the hairline which I named snTaper, snTaper2, snTaper3 (I should have called the first one snTaper1 for consistency but I forgot to go back and rename it.) Two of them are for the neck hairline and the third is for the temples/forehead. I found I only needed to adjust 3 morphs to fit all the characters I use and that's including non daz characters James, Jessi and Miki with their different (egg) shaped heads. lol

Hope that helps :)

Wow!  Two great looking styles April!  I especially like the Estio Curls style in the middle.  The one with the dark waterfall over his eyes!

Thanks Jeff! Oooh yeah, he's a favourite of mine too, but too wild to be allowed up front! ;)

Here's a bigger pic of the badar$e ...

April,

I've just been playing around with the Devanar hair and the beanie. I did the following :

(1) Loaded the Devanar hair to David.
(2) Fitted it to David via the Pose library.
(3) Set the beanie to 1.0 via the Parameter dials ........ all good so far ........
(4) Ensuring that the Devanar hair is still selected, clicked the DevanarBeanie_Blue MAT pose and rendered.

The blue MAT pose for the beanie simply refuses to work. I have repeated step 4 a number of times but the beanie remains the same brown color as the hair.

How can I fix this ?

regards,
Andrew

Have you tried to select the beanie, not the hair, to apply a beanie mat pose?  It's intended for the beanie. :)

If the issue persists, let me know what software and version you are using.
It's about bedtime, so I might not be able to reply soon. :)

April, the beanie is part of the hair, it is not a separate prop so its not individually selectable.
I'm using Poser v6 SP2 under Win XP Pro

Oops sorry I have just realized that it is available from the Props menu :)
Problem solved .....

lol glad you got it sorted :)  The beanie is best with displacement so Poser 6 is good to hear!
