Getting hair to fit LY Cayenne

Hi All,

I'm quite new to Daz3D. I've recently bought LY Cayenne as I create a lot of fitness exercises and this figure is perfect. I also really liked the hair which I have purchased from www.renderosity.com. HR-092. Eventually managed to get it installed and I can load it onto the figure from the "Content Library". But it doesn't fit the head that well and I can't move the Pony tail. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong. I have attached a screen grab of the fit to show what I mean

    The hair is for Victoria 4, you are using it on Genesis 3 Female. Are you using AutoFit to convert it (with an add-on for Victoria 4 compatibility, or by going from Victoria 4 to Genesis to Genesis 2 Female to Genesis 3 Female)? That will remove any special bones for posing the tail. A better approach is often not to fit the hair but to use its transforums to line it up with the head (or slightly clipping into the head), then parent it to the head - that way you still have the bones, if any, in the tail and can pose it to fit. If you set the hair so it fits or is slightly inside the head then select the hair use Edit>Figure>Geometry>Apply Smooting Modifier, then under mesh Smoothing in the editor tab of the parameters pane set the Collision target to Genesis 3 Female - that should pop any bits thata re digging in back out.

    oh yes, Richard is correct (of course). The hair needs to be parented in place to be able to use all the built in morphs.
