HAIR: "The neck gap fix" mini-tutorial

[guppy_gabriel]

(edit by Tiggerypum - Apr 2006)
This was written to address difficulties people experienced with Wes' original gmdc plugin from a year ago. With the Unimesh plugin, I strongly recommend that before reassigning the head vertices (to eliminate the unwanted animation assignments) that you check the values of the neck vertices and jot them down - then try using them.

I have discovered a little trick for don't see gap.
Using Wes_H plugins, clone this neck part
1.-http://img100.echo.cx/img100/9895/mt15uy.jpg (http://www.imageshack.us)
2.- Assign the duplicated part to head (originally the part is assigned to neck)
3.- Regroup to hair
4.- Rename "regroup" to hair

Coris, This is an outdated piece of information, why would you want to repost it anywhere??!!! Use the new tools and it won't be needed.
