Hi all, just joined the forum and I'm dipping my feet into modding hair for the first time. I've made some color swatches for hair, added new swatches to posters, etc. But I've never actually modified a mesh before.
I'm trying to create a friend's character in-game and one of Kijiko's hairstyles is pretty much what I need, except the bangs are a bit too long and I need to shorten the back a bit. Kijiko's policy on modifying their work is that it is okay if you do not intend to share it with anyone else, which I do not intend to do so, as my friend does not play the Sims. This would be for my own personal use.
I've been following this tutorial, but when I get to the part where you actually shorten the hair, Blender does not behave correctly for me at all. Instead of bringing the hair upward (following the instructions in the comments to select the section you want to move and pressing S), it moves sideways or bulges forward, not moving cleanly upward as shown in the video, even though I am making sure to move it on a single axis as well. I'm wondering what I am doing wrong and if someone could shed any light on it. Or if perhaps there is an easier way for me to accomplish what I want to do.
I can provide the package file for the hair in question if you'd like me to. :3
This is how I want the hair to look when I shorten it.
