Would anyone mind sharing some advice wrt sculpting long hair? I have a couple of short haired models I'd like to extend a little bit but I'm not having a great time of it

Thanks! Well, in particular I'm trying to extend the hair a bit on some Sisters of Battle models for a particular look. It's necessarily going to have to drape over the shoulder pads and flow backwards due to the action pose.

So it sounds like you don't want to add the hair as one piece that you shape, but add it piece by piece? How would you blend them to the hair already on a model cleanly? Blending multiple strands seems like an issue of working them together at the right time.

Depends on the model, really. Trimming off the bottom bit of the hair might work, as well as following the already established lines of the hair.

I’m mostly saying that it’s easier to make it more dynamic if you add the major forms and refine them than simply attaching the hair all at once and trying to get it to work.

Do you have pictures of what you’re trying to do? I can hopefully be more helpful that way.

Thanks. I'll have to get pictures once I get home for you.
