I can easily make prim skirts now. They're HOT! But, anywho. Here's my deal. I want to make flexi hair to go along with it. I'm sure there's a simple way.. hair makers in SL are just holding back on secrets. So, if one person in SL could step out of the shadows and release to me the numbers in edit and what to rez to get me started.. please DO. Thank you for your time.

Attach your prim skirt to the head, roll it between your fingers, shape it and readjust it, and viola! Hair!!!

Flexi hair is easy  07-19-2006 11:50
There are two approaches that I am aware of: * Create individual strands - use a cylinder, taper, size, and texture. The important part is taper and size. The rest of the non-flexible hair is regular, non-flexible, prim hair primarily made using torus shapes. * Cheat - create a texture that looks like a bunch of strands of hair (perhaps uneven, with gaps and transparent areas) and texture a flexible cylinder with that. As for the rest of the hair, use the approach from the first point. I personally like the first approach - looks much better when 'show transparent' is enabled and moves more naturally As for the numbers, experiment and see what looks good - why start with someone else's ideas when you can make yours completely unique? -2fast |

I had trouble with flexi hair when I started too, but what I did was look at other people's hairstyles and judged what kind of prims were being used.
What I found was that a lot of hair has a combination, usually tori as a base, sometimes even a sphere if you want a large base that wraps around your head. Then to give it fluidity you add flattened cylinders (cones) and even the box can be used to good effect. Usually if you put the flexis in the front and back (maybe a few on the sides) then you create a good illusion of free flowing hair; just like natural hair it doesn't move that much on top but the sides are where most of the movement occurs.
Additionally, you may not need to hunt out a hair texture as you might have the perfect one in your library. The one I used for my hair was in there and it's perfect, has a bit of transparency and it's grayscale so it can be tinted to any color I want.
