Help Identifying a G2M Hair [Solved]

Does anyone know what hair this is:

 

The promo image is from the Radioactive Outfit Textures product. I suspect it's probably a Genesis 2 Male hair since the outfit is for that figure. 

Also, bonus if you can help me identify the character (that might be hard since half his face is covered). I've only been doing 3D art for about 3 years and Genesis 2 is before my time so I'm not very familiar with G2 figures and products.

Any help you guys can give me is much appreciated. :)

    Oh thank you! The main promo image for that looks nothing like the hair, so I totally missed that! It looks like the PA that made it hasn't released anything in about a year - hopefully they'll release something new soon so that it will go on sale. :)

    You think the character is Michael 6? I thought it might be too, but since I've not really used Michael 6 I wasn't sure. I'll have to check him out. This is the second time I've been kind of "wowed" by a character just to have someone tell me it's Michael 6 - so looks like I need to do some renders with him. heheh

    Thanks for the help. :)

    Mike 6 is one of the better looking males IMVHO. There is an issue with his chest tho - he has some real man boobs...lol. I still use him a lot tho ;). Also, that outfit is quite awesome if you don't have it. Super detailed for a male outfit and one of my favorites.

    I loved this hair in promos. There is one regency clothing set that is simply stunning because the pa used the hair. But I seldom used the hair itself because it was too difficult to fit to a new generation because of the way it was made. Something to do with the cap if I recall, I could never get it to work with g3m which was recently released after. Maybe the hair fitter tool would work?

    Did you try the scale it a bit smaller than the head and use smoothing and collision that sometimes can help a lot in fiitting hairs.

    Here's the promo. I'm glad I saved the picture, because I can't find the set in the store. It was called Regency Country Gentleman I believe. I still think the hair is cute albeit a bit dated by today's standards. And this Mike was cute- except for the chest area.

    I am ashamed to admit I don't recall how I tried to fit it. There was discussion at the time in the forums on how to get it to work, but it defied my newbie hair fitting skills at the time.

    It was a set possibly done by Moyra for the Regency outfit,  so now removed, shame looks like it was a nice set of textures.

    As I've been doing this long before autofit was about scale etc has always been something I did for hair, the addition of smoothing just made it a whole lot easier, but I must have learnt about it at some time.

    I have that hair but I only like one or two of the styles supplied. It's more suitable for cartoon shader hair.

    I have the same problem with Redz hair and any hair that is parented to a cap ;). I'm certain there's a way to make it work and I'm just too dumb to figure it out. LOL

    Have you tried scaling it, the cap, smaller and using smoothing it usually works pretty well but as with everything not always.

    Apparently, I had purchased him about a 17 months ago but never got around to messing with him much. But after reading this thread I had to dig him out. And WHOA, I found my new favorite guy to render! lol

    Here he is with Altern8. 

    And now I'm ruined! lol Because I have next to nothing for Genesis 2 Males. Dang it... why does he have to be so fine!? How is "Well, he's pretty hot, but he's no Michael 6." not a saying? lol I'm either going to have to invest in G2M or figure out how to transfer him to G8M. Because now that I know he looks this good with Iray and some Altern8 tweaks, I absolutely have to render this guy a LOT more. :)

    Ok, last one for a while, as I have to get back to work. :)

    The more I pose him the more I realize he could definitely use the better bends and nice facial rigging (coupled with PowerPose) that comes with G8M. I'll have to look into seeing if I can figure out how to transfer him when I have some extra time. I'd love to have is shape and textures with G8M! :)

    I feel that way about David 5 also. LMAO

    Hey, nothing keeping you from using him (not even clothes...wink....lol).

    FWIW, there is a G3M clone for G2M in the store that lets you put G3M (and G8M clothes if you've converted them to G3M) on Mike 6, and it works rather well. This outfit is for G3M and that's Mike 6 :)

    Oh!...and Ildanach just did this a couple weeks ago. How gorgeous is that?! :)

    Whoa! That IS gorgeous! I love that render! I hope I can make awesome renders like that someday. :) I need to practice more and start working on learning to do more "artsy" type renders.

    I'm definitely happy that I took a few minutes to give Michael 6 some skin settings tweaks. I feel like I have a brand new figure and he was sitting in my runtime these past months just waiting. lol

    Funny enough I have that G3M clone for G2M and forgot I had it (I had bought it when I discovered how great Lee 6 is). Thank you for the reminder about it! :D That helps a lot as I have much more G3M stuff than G2M.
