This is a hair prop I created in ZBrush, now with less curse words than usual. The character included, Buttons, requires Sakura 8 and Toon Generations 4 for Genesis8F. Character does not come with clothing or textures.  When loading it may ask for them. If you have Sakura 8, you're most likely good.

Located: I use old Poser pathways for my stuff. So try places like runtime ->Character -> Genesis 8 for the character and runtime->Hair -> ! Toon Style (or something like that) for the hair.

I tried to save the character as a dial up morph but there's just something hinky about the way DAZ does that now. So she'll dial up and look right *if* you have Toon Generations 4 dialed up. Otherwise you have to manually turn TG4 on to get her to look correct. Otherwise just dial the morph and then dial TG4. 

I also included her as a character set just in case.

The hair is DeForce set and has bones for easier setting of start poses etc. It's my first full on rigging. I have no idea if I saved that correct at all, so if I messed up probably the work is lost and I won't be able to correct. i should also mention that when you tell the hair to pose using the bones, it does weird things and then snaps into place. I have no idea.... why.....

Hair also has some materials included, all 3Delight default being as I use pwtoon and other stuff and setting things iray to start with? It creates problems. It really does. I hate having to tweak things manually to get to where I normally would apply something like pwtoon or, yes, iray so they're basic and default.

But speaking of materials, Zbrush sucks for unwrapping. And I suck at unwrappng so it was double the suck! I tried for 24 hours, with some sleep thrown in. I even loaded Blender, which left me looking up tutorials to try to follow the beginner's tutorial, and watching my computer cough because Blender is a monster....  I finally gave up because it was never gonna happen. I did my best.

one last thing about the hair: it's not a conforming prop. You can pretty much put it on anyone's head. Almost. I'm sure there are some extreme characters that can't wear it right.

Official disclaimer: Yes you can use this for commercial project but be forewarned I also may be using this for my commercial project. Someday.

Now I'm going back to trying to earn a living. These little forays I do... hahahaha.... deadlines?? HAHAHAHAH « Less
