Hair export ?

I realize the dynamic hair from Carrara will not export to IClone.

What about the Garribaldi Hair?

I don't care, if the export goes out of Daz3d studio either.

The Garribaldi is on Fast Grab discount today for the first time this year, so I would like to buy it...if I can get it to work

    It apparently can, (a friend has Garibaldi) but with out the textures used UV mapped as is, each strand is identically mapped
    but that does possibly make it useable for iC6 softcloth physX unlike LAMH which I have without a lot of work in a UV mapper.
    Philemo might be working on a Carrara hair obj exporter.
    It has to be in DAZ studio btw though Carrara can render the Garibaldi exported geometry mesh.

    The Garibaldi is in the Fast Grab for sale at $13.49, which is best price I have ever seen for it.

    Do you think it worth it to buy it?

    dunno but I just did to see if any advantages over LAMH
    I realize I cannot run both at once

    OK first impressions
    easier to style hair than LAMH
    obj export works in Carrara but the UV mapping is atrocious

    UV Mapping from Garibaldi is like piling spaghetti all over the floor and calling it a sculpture. Exporting does work, to a point, but you'll have awful trouble getting textures onto it unless you just use procedural shaders.

    It IS a good price though and I have had some success with it on DS.

    Looks like I missed. Daz pulled the Garibaldi from fast grab before I got there.

    I have enough to do, so will give me more time to look into the "HAIR" situation longer.

    I appreciated reading all the responses.
