WindField's Dalila hair - help with issue

paul

When I try to use WindField's Dalila hair, it crinkles under the chin. How can I fix this?

Richard Haseltine

Is this on the figure it was made for or have you AutoFitted it to another figure?

The Dalila hair does it anytime I apply it to any figure.

I don't see that on the base Genesis 8, nor - like that - with a range of morphs. Still, head morphs do project into the hair and so if there is something in effect that scales the head up (or body down) you might get that effect - have you tried, with the Genesis 8 Base seelcted, Edit>Figure>Zero>Zero Figure Shape?

Thank you for your advice. The hair does work on the Genesis 8 basic female figure. However, it doesn't work on any of the characters/figures I've bought. The Edit>Figure>Zero>Zero Figure Shape does fix the hair, but it resets the morph to basic female.

 

Any other advice you might have to fix the problem would be appreciated.

This is an issue with the automatic projection of morphs - if the morph introduces a marked change in scale (here in the head) then an item that spans across aprts that were scaled and parts that were not is likely to distort. The only real fix is to make a custom morph for the shape, which (if named to match the morph name) will apply automatically, or to approach that by using dForms or Mesh Grabber to adjust the shape of the hair on an ad hoc basis.

Here's another example using one of the figures used in the Dalila hair promo pictures (Lucia HD). While the problem isn't as pronounced, it's still visible. I'm sure WindField didn't have to do all those steps to make the promo picture, so it has to be something else, right?

I don't really understand what you suggest to do here:

What does that mean? I'm sorry I don't understand.
