Thanks TheOldBuffer. That's a great idea! I am really looking forward to further announcements from RL on iClone 7's plugin capabilities.

TheOldBuffer (11/25/2016) @mrmdesign. Sounds like a great idea and perhaps could be a plugin for Iclone7. I would be interested as well, as hair has been a shortcoming in iClone. I'm not against making my own, but I don't want to go through the hassle of using a myriad of applications, so your solution sounds great. For me, it would be for use in my films, I'm not necessarily interested in reselling. Once you're a bit further it would be great to see what it looks like. One issue may be to make it dynamic (as it won't be ccHair), but I believe accessories can be made dynamic as well. Another problem in iClone has always been fitting hair properly to the skull shape. So it would be great if you could import the head of your character as OBJ and sculpt the hair accordingly. EDIT: Fixed some typos.

I think this could be very well received. There is still a lot of demand for polygonal hair, and for lots of different engines. There seem to be fewer and fewer standalone programs for doing stuff like this. Do make sure we can import our own OBJ base to build the hair on. Oh, and thank you!

@mrmdesign
Yes , I'm interesting to pay or back a Kickstarter project...BUT It's like saying : Do you want pay for a car? so the answer would be : What sort of car?? May if you can show 2 or 3 exemples of what sort of hair style we can achieve before developping anything will be a good start/evaluation.
My 2 cents

Hello kind people; Firstly Many thanks to the countless people behind any CG works of art; a copy of these Hair meshes and then to Rampa for zipping another copy() ; transforming them as CC_ACCessories.
eternityblue (11/21/2016) I was thinking, by the looks of it, someone took the free hair here and sold it in the marketplace. I don't want to accuse anyone though, I just thought it was worth mentioning.Yes, if the free stuff is blocked and/or it was a simple repackaging, that would be 'a dick move' (uncool) IMO.
mrmdesign (11/21/2016) That's actually pretty bad. ... If they have spent time tweaking the hair in some way to make them work better with iClone or changed the topology or textures, it may be of use to someone but it just looks like they have literally just uploaded the freebies into the store .... grab a bit of cash from a gullible shopper. The spirit of this had good intentions. Good on the people who can add value to the creative good. I Rebuilt (in my modeling programs;mesh changes and skinning to CC head bone along wi   ; From CC_Accessories into (very different) CC_Hair keeping their likeness. IMO rebuilding the heart of the form. Thanks to the 3-4 Wise people @75/CC_Hair for the whole Pack. rampa (11/21/2016)
That's all freebie DAZ hair. It's exactly what I offered here for free. Maybe it's reworked as CC hair? I provided them as accessories. To each there own, I guess.
Yes (with many thanks for your compilation ) new CC_Hair , Given a new heart along with rebuild of all mesh; keeping the likeness. people have kindly covered for the work I've done upon the work others have...(), I'm interested feeding back true CC_Hair A good reference (..): but troublesome to use as is. As the original content stood.. it was accessories only; it just didn't work well as a part of CC characters for me.It made a good reference for building a real CC Hair pack.So I built something new from their likeness: 20 new CC hair styles (skinned to the CC head) at 1500p (That's 75 points per CC hairstyle) for the lot... That's about 10$ per pack after content store takes it's cut... More of a donation then any profit; A few people at most willing download the pack. Many hours of work... to transform/retopologize (Max,Zbrush,etc.) into something new and cool for Icloners.
Sure I could have spent many more hours and added more cloth capabilities to the hair... but I'll leave that in the few users hands. I planned to spark some positive interest (mostly) with a good set of CC hair from the CC accessories offered here.. then giving back as as real-set of free 'CC-Hair' (skinned to CC head bone) for all After a few sales. (done!complete). to cover some of my time/costs in re-developments... then I'd like to let it loose a free-for-all... Stay tuned; I'll have a chat with RL Legal in offering copies of the CC_Hair pack for 0 points soon.

Hi Rampa Thanks for that. I'll give them a try. Mind you at the moment I am trying to get hair that (a) allows for hats and (b) displays various degrees of male pattern baldness.

@3dtree: I think if you had simply attributed the origin of the hair and Rampa's contribution, there would have been less confusion. This is a sensitive subject that has caused problems in the past.

My feeling is that re-purposing free content really does not merit selling it. The original free content is usually stipulated as needing to remain free. As for my contribution, all I did was learn how to get it into iClone effectively with a bit of physics where needed. It was both meant to be a learning experience for me, and a nice freebie for everyone else. I did get acknowledged in a PM from Tree, and a message here. I would implore and encourage everyone to not re-sell free content. Even modified free content, unless explicit permission is given to do so.
