Prim Hair designs

Could someone please tell me how to make prim hair.Cant seem to find anyone that will tell me.Help please.

Hi Nashia,

First, you need a basic understanding of building objects and a basic understanding of making/working with textures in photoshop or gimp or paintshop pro.

It helps if you have an idea of how you want the hair to look before you start. The main prim shape used in hair is the torus. It is the most versatile of all the prim shapes. I often start with a sphere to simulate a head that I attach the other prims to so that I have an idea as I'm building how it will look on a head.

As you build each individual shape, apply a texture to it - you can start with any of the default textures made by the lindens and color them with the color slider, or you can import/upload textures that you make. They can be fully opaque or can have a fringed effect with a clear alpha channel so that the ends look uneven like real hair does. It's fun to experiment.

I've been told by other builders that hair (the first thing I ever started to learn to make) is by far the most difficult thing to build in SL. I've been at it for nearly a month, many hours at a sitting and am only now starting to get the hang of it. This should be a good start - there are other sets of advice here also. Also, if you haven't, visit the ivory tower of prims to get educated on prim building - a great source of tips and tricks in a very logical way. Helped me tons. Best!
