Hi! I know about general workflows for hair creation for 3D in general, but when it comes to importing it into SL I am completely lost. When I've tried to import it, my hair was miniscule compared to the avatar and I am not sure how to go about fixing this. I have been desperately trying to find an avatar I could use in 3ds max, but their rigs tend to be messed up. It's incredibly frustrating to find any kind of information about anything regarding SL since a lot of the results are dated at somewhere like.. 2012? 2013? Sure, I've found a bunch for the more resent years but they're not really what I'm looking for. My questions are: Where can I download a basic avatar with a rig so I can model the hair and rig it properly? ( I use 3ds max. I've started learning blender but I don't really like it. I'd like to find something that is compatible with 3ds max.) Where can I find more comprehensive and up to date information about hair in general? Again, I can't find anything concrete and it's frustrating to see the same stuff over and over again. Are there any settings I should be aware of when importing/exporting objects? I am at the end of my hopes right now. I've been searching for information a lot on my own but I feel like I'm chasing my own tail.
