Sorry if this is redundant, but the search engine will not allow a search on a three letter word, "hat"

How do I make a hat?
Is it an object attached to the head, or part of a skin? Any tips too?

Thanks,
Newbie

Most hats are attachments, made from prims. A few hats could be made in other ways, a knitted cap say... because it basically conforms to your head shape.

Building hats... I'd say make a big av with a big head and build for that, then test on a tiny one too to make sure they'll scale.

You're limited to 255 prims in an attachment, but hats don't have to be anything like that complex for a lot of things. A good witch's hat can be 2 prims...

As for good building of things, this isn't quite the right place, but I'd suggest finding a quiet sandbox and playing, and the Ivory Tower does good tutorials.
