Hi all,

I am so in love with the hair function in Carrara. I mostly work with content and especially Victoria 4 so the ability to make realistic hair is highly important to me.

I think I know my way around in the hair room pretty well, I know how to use the tools and stuff. But what usually works best for me is to simply drape the hair and leave it the way it comes out on the character. Long hair that just falls naturally over Vicky's shoulders is unbeatable.

But now I'm curious of how to make a pony tail, or even piggy tails. The latter one sounds twice as complicated so I'd be happy to just fix a pony tail for now. Does anyone have any good ideas or suggestion how to fix anything tail like with hair? I tried to manually brush a hairdo into a ponytail. It took me an hour and it still didn't look very natural the way draped hair do. I wish there would be a feature to brush the hair backwards and then drape just the tail part.
