Hi grinsegold just tried to export the bow tie hair with MHX2 but the export thru an error it does not like accents they are not ascii so you might change the texture file names so the clueless don't complain 8-) Easy enough for me to do locally I do like both of your contributions as they have a formal feel to them.

Enjoy the Choice :)

I love it, but with both the models I've tried it on, there's a small bald patch just above the bow.

This is why I made it clear that I create templates. Even grinsegold's work--good as it is--has to be fitted to any number of MH variations with any number of poses. It is unlikely the complex hairpieces will perfectly fit all of them. That fitting needs to be done with a mesh editor.

Maybe i forgot to mention it in the description, but i modeled it to be used with subsurf level 2. Have you tried that?

In makehuman the smoothing toggle icon on the top row but with one more level of smoothing makes a low poly model smoother in the rendering stage this is applied in blender during the import stage with mhx2 also what you do if you are baking a normal map though in that case you usually add several more levels of subdivision.It's just one of several cheats to make rough models have very detailed look with out tasking game rendering engines so that the fps range in playable or when you don't want to take 8 minutes a frame for animations ;)

Enjoy the Choice :)

I never even noticed that button before....

Thanks both of you for the explanation. Apply a level 2 SubSurf to both the body and the hair in Blender makes the bald spot much smaller, but doesn't make it go away entirely, and there are a few others nearby.

I've found, with designing clothes, that it helps to add a little bit of a gap between the body and the item of clothing in order to account for slight differences in shape between models--it's not noticeable unless you look at it close up.

Yes, I can always edit the hair myself, but the more I have to do for myself, the less advantage I gain from using someone else's asset rather than doing it myself.

Enjoy the Choice :)


The choice of what, if I may ask?
