long braid problem

cclesue

I recently purchased AprilYSH’s Maia Hair with the express piuupose of using with the Dragon Lady figure and clothes. Maia is for Gen3 unfortunately when I load it to the Gen8 figure (i’m using Ai) I cannot manipulate the long braid. I suspect it has something to do with the fits all feature that has “welded the bones of the hair to that of the figure but I haven’t a clue in how to separate them. . .  Help

Load the hair and click cancel when you get the autofit dialog. Select the hair, go to the scene tab and click the triangle for the drop down menu in the top right corner - edit -> scene identification -> select Genesis 8 female under preferred base. Right click on hair in scene tab and choose Genesis 8 as the fit to figure.

Never autofit hair unless it is very short with no bones.. When you load it, just don't select the figure first then load the hair and position it into place, then parent it. If you need a snugger fit, then add a smoothing modifier to it with collision. Then you can save it as a support asset "figure/prop assets" for future use.

You could also try chaning the scene identifier of the hair to G8 and then fit it as normal. Most times this works fine.

 

edit: too slow, Mada beat me to it, LOL
