Head you can glue on your actor's head for long hair - pamtown - 05-12-2007
I just made a Jack Sparrow character and I needed him to have long hair. I exported a head with long hair from FaceGen and then positioned it/glued it onto Jack(hiding the head inside Jack's head. Turned out pretty cool.
To see the finished work:

Try zipping it. But I don't understand why you want to end up with two heads (even though that's reputed to be better than one...); why not just import the head from FaceGen directly?

I haven't been able to export from Facegen additional hairstyles that aren't default -- they won't be available in the drop down menu to change the actor.
Is there some other way??
I could certainly export a Jack head with the right hair from FaceGen, but I haven't been able to use the FF application and put head with non-standard hair on a body.
Yeah-- I tried it again and in order to have non-standard hair choices, I have to select the FaceGen model set and not the FrameForge model set and then I can't get it to go onto a body properly.
And with a head of hair, peeps w/o FaceGen can add hair to their characters. If you hide the face inside your character's head and glue it on, it works great. Stays on just like a wig.
Zipped worked !! It's attached!

So where did this hairstyle come from?

There are add on hair styles you can download from facegen:

In facegen, if you don't use the frameforge model set, but use the default facegen set, you can access installed add-on hair.
But I can't get them to export onto a body in FF.
If I have some time, I'll make "head wigs" of all the different hairstyles available and post them here for people to have wigs.
The longer ones might be especially useful.

I'll look into making them accessible, but most of those are EXTREMELY high polygon and can really slow down rendering time.
