Hair in photos: Haydina Hair Genesis 8 Female

But it's not just this hair, it's almost any hair does this. It cuts into the clothes and skin. I am struggling to figure out how so many people make their hair so perfect in their photos. You can't tell it is all just DForce in their photos because it's not. I really need to this is how you make hair look great or perfect tutorial.

The character is Beverly HD for Brooke 8.1. I am using the hair in the promo shot. I think it's the best looking hair for her.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

    This is the reason I use super short hair on most of my characters. smiley I just cannot get this right. I have mesh grabber. I will try it and adding my own d-formers as you mentioned. Anything is worth a try at this point. Thanks

    Mesh grabber will drive you mad trying to do hair, you can do it with that tool but it's painful. No you want to export the hair as an OBJ by itself (hide everything in the scene) then for reference export the character as an OBJ without the hair. I usually unparent the hair and group it to hide easier, and also group the character. They will stay fitted together but this way you can turn them off on and on seperatly for exporting. Export at 100% with Write Groups off but Write Surfaces on. Then load up Blender and import both of those, select the hair and go into sculpt mode. Use the sculpt tools to tweak out the ends. Use the character pose as the reference. Then export, selected only, keep verts both on. Reimport it back to Daz and copy and paste the hair shaders. It is the only way I know of to tweak it out exactly as you want. It does take time but can be a lot faster once you do it a few times then trying to use the mesh grabber.

    A couple of tips. Try and avoid using the mask, this will cause sherring along the mask line. Adjust the size of the tool brush to something like 111 to 222 and remember your zoom size also effects the sculpt brush area.

    I mostley use updo hairs. There is no all happy long hair available-at all. Nada, nothing at any store page.
    The challenge is to find hair sets, that are similliar in order to work as a possible variety of the same hair and use them on certain poses of your character.
    Even that is a challenge.
