Since a lot of people are clamoring for new hairstyles, I thought I would do a tutorial on a wig template, and update it so that everyone can use it.
The basic approach is to create a thin planar mesh as the basic strand, and use a Makehuman scalp as the emitter.
Here is my goal: to recreate Brigitte Bardot's hairstyle in "And God Created Woman". I'm using classic film, as it is in the public domain.
The next step is to 'Make All Duplicates Real', join the 'strand' objects, and then cut the mesh in half, so that a Mirror Modifier can be used for the styling process.
It's ready for mesh modeling. Try it yourself: http://www.geekopolis.ca/blender/automatedWig1_264a.blend
