Visible Scalp or Skin Showing Through Official Reallusion Hair — Is This Normal?

Hi everyone,

I’ve noticed that with several official Reallusion hair assets (including default and purchased ones), parts of the scalp or skin are sometimes (very often) visible through the hair — depending on the camera angle and distance.

I’ve tried adjusting various hair settings such as opacity, shadow type, and lighting conditions, but the issue persists across multiple characters.

Is this behavior normal, or could it be a rendering or shader problem on my end?
I’m using the latest version of Character Creator / iClone (please specify your version if needed).

Any advice or confirmation would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!



Hi… Have you tried scaling the hair up slightly. This can often resolve problems where some of the hair is breaking through the scalp

Most modern RL hair (if not all) have a separate hair scalp mesh, which being close to the head scalp mesh might not fit well on every other character head. The quickest fix before anything else is to use Calculate Collision in Conform for the hair. There are some other settings in Conform like Increase Size, which also might help.

Calculate collision

Hi,

I didn’t use any scalp, it didn’t apply automatically with RL original hair. Also a bought character for a professional artist didn’t have one applied.

I really thought those scalps where for bold people xD.

It really made a difference. Thanks 4u2ges!

Thanks Pete, I didn’t try it yet but I will try it if I find same issue after applying scalps.
