Multi-length Hair

Mostly Harmless

This may be asking a lot, but I was wondering if someone could design a hair that could actually show growth.  I was wanting a hair that could go from a shaved look, to a short hair, to a shoulder length, and then long, with a loose ponytail morph.  Maybe this could be one hair product, with different morphs or transmaps for the different lengths, or perhaps it could be several hairs that were based on each other for the different lengths

I ask this because I would like to follow the passage of time for a character, and while there are different hairs out there of these lengths, they all have different skullcaps and waves, or somehow just don't match being on the same person at diffent times of their lives.

LAMH and Garibaldi hair can do this but you need 3Delight to render it.

you can export each stage as geometry though for iRay.

Another thing to keep in mind is you don't have to use the hair shaders that come with the hiars, especially in iray. There are multiple shader sets out there that can replace them. So if you have a bunch of hairstyles you'd like to use but they don't quiite seem to match, you can blend thme better by using the shaders.

Things like OOT shaders at Rendo:
