Hello there again!
I just tried to create a new XGen hairstyle today, this time with real world character scale (height - around 170cm) and the results are a bit better but still far from the ones in the video after setting density to 20 so my guess would be, they have the character scaled waaaaay up beyond real world scale.
Which makes me wonder, why was this not mentioned in any video tutorials or even in the user manual. It´s quite an important bit, the scale thing.
So I have no choice but to go trial/error with this until I get the right scale I guess.
However, lets say I get the right scale, create a hairstyle and now I need to scale my character down (or even up) and I´d like the description to scale along nicely as well.
I have tried selecting both ,my characters geometry and the description in the outliner and scaling them up (hoping that as I´d scale them both up, I´d automatically get better results when it comes to the density and other settings) but as soon as I scaled them both up a little bit, the hairstyle got messed up completely and at one point it wasnt even following the figure´s scalp anymore.
So I tried to scale it back down but this time, it wouldn´t scale at all.
I know I can set the length of the Xgen guides by scaling them but I have no idea how to handle things like this, when I need to scale the hairstyle up or down after the editing of the description is finished.
Any help would be much appreciated! : )
