Over the last little while I have been fighting all the hairy issues in poser like all of us and after 6 months on figuring out a new hair system I thought I would share it with every one.

I came up with the "Super Hair Lock" by creating 3 cylinders coned one inside each other and trans mapped each separately (giving the prop 6 layers of hair in every visual direction) and shaped to look like a natural lock of hair.

Morphed with a few bends and bingo! The prop is morphable in almost any direction, scale and density

I hope to put more morphs into the prop over the next little while. I have about twenty-five now and room for many more and hope to put it up sometime in the free section. I spent a total of an hour making the sampler below including the maps for the hair and creating the individual elements.

The Texture map is nothing but a single gradient and the trans map is nothing but straight white lines on a black background - then a bump created from the trans map.

Think what it would look like if one created a good texture?

Feed back would be appreciated.
