Sickleyield's Hat and Hair Helper

I love this product. I had a similar product for V4, but nothing since. So this is very nice to have.

However, I can't seem to get any hair not made for G1 or G2F/M to work with the product. I can parent it, but I can't 'fit' it. Anyone have a solution on how to 'fit' hair from V4/M4/V3/M3 to this product?

    What I do is dress Genesis 2 Male, add his cap or hood, add the hair, add the Hair and Hat Helper, and in Parameters > All, have the hair fit the Hair and Hat Helper, Adjust the morphs in the H & H Helper, and then turn off its visibility in the scene.

    With any product that's not made for this figure generation you would have to either use AutoFit or a conversion method. HHH just adds morphs, it can't stop bones being lost on Auto.

    I've tried converting it to something with bones, but it always places it at the hip. How can I change that? I tried just renaming the bone to head, but that doesn't work.

    If I don't convert it, no matter how I target the hair, it won't morph. It seems to need the bones and more specifically, the head bone.

    Autofit doesn't place things at the hip. How exactly are you trying to convert it?

    Depending on what you're trying to convert, RAMWolff's tutorial might help.

    Thanks for the RAMWorks tutorial. I'll give it a whirl tonight.

    Sickle, I tried it two ways.

    1) I loaded the Genesis character, then auto-fit your Hat Hair accessory, then auto-fit the M4 Hair (Gabriel's Hair to be exact). Then I converted it from a prop to a figure. It moved it to the hip. I tried auto-fitting to your Hat Hair Accessory and I even tried doing it to Genesis with the same result.

    2) I loaded the Genesis character, then auto-fit your Hat Hair accessory, then I just loaded the M4 Hair. Then I converted it from a prop to a figure. It moved it to the hip.

    If it's a prop it shouldn't have allowed AutoFit to trigger in the first place. Did you get the dropdown popping up with the figure list in it?

    It sounds like Ram's tutorial is probably your friend since it's prop hairs you're working with.

    I had the Genesis character selected and it placed it in the appropriate place, so I assumed it AutoFit, but perhaps Daz just put it in the correct place. It's listed in the Poser runtime under Hair, not poses or figures.
