Does ANYONE have a decent short hair / crew cut for M4? Please advise with links, if possible!
I have the SAV Alpha scalp, but it looks terrible!

3-Dream's master skull cap and their Soldier Hair, maybe?

That's not really what I'm looking for, but it may have to do. Thank you!

This may not be short enough, but the Painter hair for 3-Dream's Master Skull Cap is one of my favorites. Here's a sample:
Also, you might find Joequick's Hero hair suitable (comes in his Golden Age hero clothing set for M4). It's strand based and has a lot of morphs to play with. I've done some short hair styles with it, mostly mohawk and slicked back hair. It may be too thin/sparse for close ups.
Here's the store link (see the product image of sample hair styles):

It's now unavailable to buy, However, he gave away the set on ShareCG, but I'm not sure if it includes the hair. You might want to download the ShareCG set to see. If the hair interests you.
Hope this helps!

This is one of the ones I use. https://www.daz3d.com/flat-top-hair It might work for you.

This is what I'd really like.

You might be able to scale and fit the fibermesh hair, The Business Hair for Dawn and Dusk, to get close to that hair style, anupaum.
Here's the store link:

Perhaps scaling the hair smaller than the head where the hairs poke through slightly above the scalp will work? I have this excellent hair figure and will try that out on M4 shortly.

That might work. Let me know how it looks.
In the meantime, this is what I have right now, using the SAV Alpha Scalp. There is no post work in this image, yet.
LeeMoon posted Mon, 04 November 2019 at 11:20 PM
I'll let you know how well this works, anupaum. I've been tinkering with the Hero hair first. I could probably get it close to what you're looking for, but will be trying the Business hair now. Might have to wait until tomorrow to see it. It's past midnight here, but I will stay up a little longer to see if I can get an initial render of it out.
Stay tuned!

I'm having difficulty scaling the Business Hair for M4. Here's a very rough, low quality test of the Hero hair with the Edinburgh texture with baked in hair on M4. It sort of gets there, but would need a lot more scaling and using the hair's morph dials to get it looking more like you want.
It's a start! LOL!
I'll resume my test renders in the morning.

If you have legacy content, see if you have Hmann-m-gi joe. It's for Don but can easily fit to Mike with the morph brush.
The guy on the left has that hair and is M4.
Available on Amazon for the Kindle E-Reader Monster of the North and The Shimmering Mage

Here's what I ended up with earlier this morning using Joequick's Hero hair and SAV's Alpha Skull Cap. M4 on the left has the SAV skull cap turned off, M4 on the right has it turned on. Please ignore the sloppy fit of the skull cap, I was more focused on the Hero hair. LOL!
Excellent suggestions from Kerya and RedPhantom! Thanks for sharing those. I might give them a try as well.

That Hero Hair is not in Sharecg's shared pack, so your only option will be to ask the vendor to send it to you. I can't find it separately anywhere either. I hope you find the right one for your project!!
anupaum posted Tue, 05 November 2019 at 10:04 PM
I can't find Hero Hair.
:(
The Soto skull cap looks equally terrible.

Hi anupaum and Rhia474!
I was hoping the Hero hair would be in Joequick's free Golden Age pack. Sadly, his original pack is no longer sold here. The Hero hair is truly versatile to style.
As promised, here's a sample of RedzStudio's Business Hair for Dawn & Dusk that I scaled to fit M4. I also tried scaling to fade the upper/fuller hair down to a shaved look on the lower half, but the transition didn't look very good. I do love this hair though!

Yeah, that works, but it's not what I'm looking for. Thank you!

This one is an M3 hair, am having a hell of a time to fit it to M4 and did not find an one click converter yet.

Yep, the Business Hair is likely too long for your needs. That said, here are the results of what I was originally trying to do with that hair last night.
I rendered a bald version of M4, then another render with the highly modified and scaled Business Hair, and then brought both renders into Photoshop where I put both renders on separate layers. Some quick Eraser work to blend them together yielded the final result.
I had fun experimenting with these hair props/figures. Thank you, anupaum for inspiring me to play. I just wish I'd been able to point you to a solution!

Top to Bottom: Hack job on the Business Hair to get it sort of close to the fit. Bald version. Photoshop postwork of the first 2.
anupaum posted Wed, 06 November 2019 at 9:33 PM
Yeah, Photoshop is a wonderful thing!
It seems odd to me that no one has modeled a haircut like this for soldier characters. But then, no one appears to have modeled a sling, either . . .
Nonetheless, I appreciate everyone's effort here. Thank you, all!

It's fibermesh, a total drain on your resources, and looks like crap under some lights. Just fair warning--lots of experimenting required, unlike other hairs Neftis made that worked great in Poser. YMMV, not sure of your settings.

Yah, that isn't really the one I was thinking about, apparently it's no longer available. Was thinking of this one.

Note, this is for preview purposes only it is no longer available on daz's site.

Try Prae's Ceto Hair. It has an M4 fit and has a Mohawk morph for the hair.
