Do the TXF files have the correct contents? Something like RGBA 8888 AlphaMask? check the txf of textures where transparency does work?

There is this video...........

For the moment this is the outcome. It includes an example .max file to start from. With that, creating hairworks has become a whole lot easier, it is now really the art of combing Most likely I'll create some new meshes in the future, for more complex hairs, or different splits. The one included has an (overlapping) split between left and right.

WORKING!! OMG this took me the better part of my free time and sleep last week. No more rotations in pass file, all default values Custom UV for growth mesh Custom armature with very detailed bone orientations in XYZ Possibility to create different growth meshes in Blender and import them into 3ds Max and start with hairworks, or Simply keep the mesh for the growth and simply start combing and export apx directly into ActiveMod in just a few simple steps. Python script to inject collision spheres into existing hairworks (with the same orientation) Now I need some sleep, this kept me awake the entire week

ok I think I did it. upper arm collisions under control. thanks to your tool I was able to find the correct orientation for the shoulders (same as the clavicle) and I believe the rest was already working. need to do some more testing but I'm positive that another step towards fully controllable collisions has been taken here. thanks!

Hi, I see the red indicators, but only on my male model and only from one side, and no green and blue. female is xbody. does this only work for default body? the blue ones are Y-axis? which one is green and red? are there options to choose what is visible? at the moment only half of the red ones are visible, depending on the direction i'm looking, others appear and the first disappear.. plenty questions

Thanks for the support, I really appreciate it. Gonna have a look into that mod to show the bones. Have been wishing for something like this. With F2 in H5 also something is visible of the armature but not as detailed. in the meanwhile I’ve written a Python script to inverse bones (tail - head) in the armature and tried again in max. Now the spheres end up in the other end of the bone, meaning that clavicle is on the shoulder and shoulder on the elbow, like it is supposed to be I think... then they can be connected easily. Now hoping to fine tune the offset orientation… another step forward.. every time I think I m almost there, a new problem shows up. Guess it will end one day anyway, many thanks for the support, I needed it

Yeah I’m struggling with the orientation of the bones. there seems to be a difference between blender, max and the game in orientation and I’m having trouble lining everything up. At this time I have control over the spheres in xyz direction where the visual situations in max correspond with the game. Now struggling to get the upper arms working. Orientation of the shoulder bone seems to be different than i thought, or the locations.. all very weird. Now I’m not sure what armature to use, the one properly imported from female dae, with the bones properly connected, just the bone locations with custom orientation.. so confused Or the armature with the bones inverted to use the other end of the bone Do you have any experience with the bone orientation for hairworks? apart from the upper arms, everything is under control and working, but I get the feeling that I’m doing things not the easiest way

update: 10/10 bone orientations are workable in XYZ, actually they are good to go now, but still looking for a few degrees offset for the breasts and shoulders... damn man would be nice of shoulder bone could be used to extend for upper arm collisions.

From my experience I can say that depends on the details in the poses. When there are sufficient keys in the movement they can really look nice at speeds between .65 and .8, where you’ll get more time to see the details.
