CC5 Hair Problem: A Workaround!

Gurus,
I made a hair in Blender. Brought it back, got it fit, thought everything was great. It, however, does not conform correctly to my HD character’s face when I apply expressions. I’ve messed with the conformable regions repeatedly to no avail. I know it’s possible, because when I put Aaron’s hair on him, that works right (top two pics). I’ve tried different conform options, all the settings I can think of.

I made the hair itself invisible in the pics below so you can more easily see the problem.

My dear anyone, help?

You might want to select the hair object and then go to your modify panel and increase scale slowly in increments of .01 until it corrects itself. That always works for me.

I will try it!!
Thank you!

It did make it look better when his brows were up, but when I put the brows down, it’s just sticking out from his face. Definitely not conforming.

Thanks anyway!

I made a Feedback tracker issue: Hair conform weight transfer not working right in CC5 - Feedback Tracker

And a video, showing how it messes up even Reallusion hair if turned into an accessory then back to hair, using Aaron’s Slicked Back hair, with “before” on the left and then after converting it to an accessory then back, using the “Create Hair Brows Beard Lashes” function. You can see his hairline move on the left with his expressions, but not on the right.

I think the problem has to do with the High Def Expression Wrinkles that actually move the mesh, but whatever the cause, I hope there’s a fix soon.

Try creating a “beard” rather than hair. If you choose “Full Beard” it should already be assigned for the entire head region.

You are my HERO!!! That worked! Thank you!!!

glad that gave a quick fix. It is possible to set the conform regions for regular hair as well. Maybe they were just turned off. They are already on if you choose facial hair, so it is super simple that way. Cheers! :slight_smile:

From your original post I thought the hair conforming region was not working for you, so gave you the beard option instead. But if you have not seen the manual page yet for the hair conforming region, see here:
