Problem with mesh hair altered areas [Completed]

Hi. Sorry, forgot to check from the computer. In the future, if you dont get the reply in 24h, feel free to bump the thread ( just write "bump" and post)

Anyway, i think its the weights. As you see, they are blotchy

007F3F is the hairline color, 007F02 is for roots
The uv_1 map is lost completely now
weights are worse now. Paint them manually. Assign the whole hair with the head bone first and normalize weights. Using gradient add b__Spine2__ from the bottom to the chin, then add breast bones and b__Spine1__

Do not do anything to the flowers until the hair behaves as intended

it is not vertex painted the way it should be. Select the head and you will see that weights were not subtracted. The weights are also not smooth, it will not get better

You cannot just delete a uv_1, the mesh will not morph as it should be at all. No maxis hair is shaped the way yours is, so transfer it from the head+upper body combo

its the same issue, the weights did not normalize


the uv_1 is transferred from the head instead of the head+upper body that it covers

The uv_1 is ok.
You can look through each vertex group in weight paint mode to see if it is in the right place. Right now most of them arent.

- change the pose by rotating the head;
- assign the whole hair to the head bone, normalize all to reset other vertex groups to 0 and use Clean with All groups;
- optionally select only the loose strands ( select an area then Ctrl L ) to avoid painting the bangs;
- select b__Spine2__, choose weight gradient, start from the armpit level, end at the eye level;
- you can reduce the strength to 0.5 and paint a bit from the bottom with b__Spine1__ as well;
- select only the front left side of the hair, reduce the strength to 0,15, change gradient type to Radial, and paint it with b__CAS_L_Breast__;
- do the same on the right side;
- if something will still not work, just delete everything but the head and b__Spine2__ and weight paint the mesh with them only

the problem does not happen in blender when you rotate the head, so it is probably not the weights. The uvs of this specific strand are ripped badly in uv_1, so try retransferring them.
