Get Version 4 ! mcjHatsAreTheFashionOfTheDay : Fit Any Hair in Hats Pc/Mac

mCasual

------------------------------------------------

New Option added 02/20/2019

------------------------------------------------

if you checkmark the 'Far Hit ( it's far out man ) checkbox, instead of stopping at the inner wall of the skull they will stop at the last hit point , so, for example, at the surface of the ears, or at the surface of the eyeballs

- it requires my free mcjCollider plugin

- it probably works better on non-fitted hair and even objects/props

 as you can see in the next post the 'hair' was a primitive-sphere

Does it require dForce?

Does it work with non-fitted (or is that "non-conforming") hairs?

I often use a hair without "fitting" it to the character. So I was wondering whether this scrip could even get such non-fitted hairs under a hat.

I like the new option. Here is my first attempt with a high resolution sphere OBJ. I made the sphere by subdividing a cube, so the UV is kind of wacky for a sphere, but it creates an interesting pattern in the "sock".

I call it Floyd with a Sock on his Head.

Oh, cool!

there's 3 or 4 uv remappers in my site mcjBoxUV mcjPlanarUV mcjSphere... mcjRadial...

Gosh, you are prolific! I'll take a look.

I changed the taper on my "sock" from 5 to 12 and I was surprised to see the sphere extended way down below the plane. These images are the sphere and plane with the mcjFitHat at 100% and 0%.

This is so good!  Here are some illustrations:

1) Hat and har without the script being run

2) Hat and hair after script

3) Hair - hat visibility turned off so you can see what the morph created by they script looks 

Thanks for this really useful tool!

mCasual

glad it gets used by.others than me i'll hesitate.less to add hats to my renders, it's part of the plan to make spring begin before March 21 by the way.

works very well thank you so much for all you do, some of which I don't even understand, but I got this script to work and it is awesome!

Thanks for all your great scripts. Unfortunately your web page is being clipped so I can't get to the download all button. I'm not sure what the problem is but I have tried in Chrome, IE11, and Edge browsers and all had the same result

Edited to clarify that I can't get to the 'download all as a zip' button

It look like your scroll bar is not all the way to the bottom. Is that the problem. (Seems to easy to be true, but just in case, I thought I'd suggest it.)

This is what I see in Chrome.

I was taking a screen shot to show that you can't get to the download all as a zip button. From your screen shot it looks like you have the same problem

I don't think there is a single arrow to download all of the zip files at once. I don't think you even need to download all of them. One is for Windows 32 bit, one is for Windows 64 bit, one is for Macintosh, one is source code, etc. I only downloaded the one for Windows 64 bit and the manual.

Look at the section in red. Previously when I have gone to mCasual's site the line lead to a button to download all as a zip button

mCasual

i never saw ( or implemented ) an arrow button to download all zip files as one zip file so the way it's meant is, you click on the little down-arrow and you get 1 file, sometimes that file is a zip file, sometimes it's a pdf, sometimes it's a dll. sometimes google or your antivirus will go parano and try to prevent you from downloading dlls, but there never was a virus distributed.by my site

Hiya,

So where does the mcjCollider.dylib go?

That is for Macintosh. Are you using a Mac?

Ah ok.  Thank you.  Nope, PC all the way!

Since it's a morph, it can be partially dialed up to make a "hat hair" morph.  I can think of some scenarios where that could be good for a laugh in a render.

Oh! That is so sweet. What a cute kitten!

After playing with the collider and other mcjScripts for some time I found this one by accident. No offence meant but the handling is quite complicated. I read the description more than once. So I added a few (100+) lines of code around mcjHats. The modified version adds - and removes after execution - the collider on its own. It also adds the plane above the ears.
Just added an orbit camera (https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/85971/a-script-to-orbit-camera-around-a-point) so one can check the result and toggle the morph and the plane visibility within the script.

I tested it with Win64/DAZ Studio/mcjCollider and I'm happy to share the code with you: https://github.com/godly/daz3d-scripts

Click the 'Clone or Download' / 'Download ZIP' button to fetch a copy and to extract its content folder to your content folder. Select the hair and run the script. That's all. I don't intend to hijack this thread while it would be nice to know whether this simplified version gets used.

 

PS: The logic to create the morph is mCasuals one, don''t credit me if it fails while I hope that the code I've added is error-free and mCasual will assimilate it. So nearly the same icons are used and you may use either mCasuals' or this version as different installation pathes are used.

I tried the deforce High Resolution (subD) Bang Bob hair again with the Romi Headcloth. That headcloth is very asymmetrical where it meets the head. However, I was able to get surprisingly good results. I dialed a couple headcloth morphs a little bit to get a slightly better fit around the head. I never could have achieved anything close to this without your collider and script. It is great! The latest version of the script handled changing the resolution to base and back to my selected resolution just fine. I was able to save the scene ane  reopen it just fine, too.

 

 

I really like the way the script is working on the hair in this. (actually the whole render is great.)

I have a question(s) though that maybe no one has noticed. Above her right brow, where the scarf is meeting the hair, it appears that the hair is going through the scarf. Above her forehead it appears to be great with just a bit of "gap" but the brow looks chopped. Is this a setting that can be adjusted or is it a trial and error type of thing, (much older computer, so renders take a LOOOOooong time.)

 

I've also noted that on a few other renders, the hair is going through ears, can this script be used to resolve that as well, (Maybe as the "sock" example?)

Edit to add: have downloaded simply because as it is, it appears to resolve 98.999% of the issue with "hats". And I'm weird, hats are just one of those "I don't know why I like them, but I do" type of things.

mCasual

below the hat line, the hair-shrinking effect goes from 0 percent and reaches 100 percent at the altitude of the plane and above. you may solve some issues by moving that plane lower od higher than the level where the hat meets the head, then tweaking the strength of the hat-fit morph. Also by adding collision objects to what the collider collides against

Nice, thank you. As always great work!

I'm confused..what on this image do I need to download. This is the page I was led to from the first post and the mention of a version 2...? So ya a bit confused as to what I need to download to make sure you hats script works, cause I can't see version 2 in the list.

 

mCasual

the system to fit the hair has 2 parts

1 - the mcjCollider plugin which does millions of computations, which is why it's a plugin and not a script

2 - the mcjHatsAreTheFashionOfTheDay script which uses the services of mcjCollider to squeeze the hair

 

the page you show me is correct, it's for the mcjCollider plugin for Daz Studio 4.5 and up

you need one of the 3 files dated February 19th 2019

the dylib one is the plugin for MACs

the mcjColliderDS45_64bit.dll  is for 64bit PCs

mcjColliderDS45.dll is for 32bit PCs

 

in the case of the script mcjhatsarethefashionoftheday the most recent version is February 20th 2019
