LI Grunge-Fest Hair for Genesis 9

Authors:

LI Grunge-Fest Hair is a bold, versatile, and highly customizable hair kit for Genesis 9. Built to offer extensive creative control, it combines multiple hair systems and configuration options, making it a dynamic choice for both male and female characters.

The core feature of the kit is a skull cap with its own morphs, accompanied by a short buzz-cut hairstyle that includes numerous adjustment morphs. This pairing provides a clean, modern crew-cut look. But the real flexibility comes with the strand-based hair add-ons. These include a dramatic overhanging bang that sweeps over the right side, contrasting against the buzzed left side for a striking, asymmetrical style. Each component can be used independently or combined for even more variety.

Two Fit Systems, Two Ways to Create

Proxy-Fitted Hair: Hands-On Control

This approach uses proxy meshes fitted to the scalp, allowing for direct manipulation of the strand-based hair with DAZ Studio's ActivePose Tool. Each proxy has built-in pose controls, the hair assets have adjustment morphs and flyaway strands to add realism and texture.

dForce Hair: Enhanced Texture and Realism

The dForce hair option takes customization a step further. While it can be used for physics-driven movement, its real strength lies in simulating additional hair strands and enhancing natural effects like clumping and scragginess. With dForce, you can achieve a more natural, lived-in look for your styles. The dForce versions share the same morphs and pose controls as the proxy system, offering a seamless transition between the two methods.

Customization Power

Choose from multiple versions of the hair, which cover a mixed-diversity style or a forward bang. Each version offers control, variety, and customization, making this a kit with many possibilities.

To top it off, LI Grunge-Fest Hair includes two additional Cybertech-inspired assets, offering extra creative options for sci-fi, cyberpunk, or dystopian scenes. As a bonus, the product comes with an updated and ever-growing version of the LI Strand-Based Hair Shader Kit, which expands customization for all strand-based hair in the series. These presets allow for only Hair Dye Tips or Root color changes.

This is a kit designed to reward experimentation. It may take some patience to explore all the controls, but the range of styles, movements, and combinations it offers makes it absolutely worth it. To help you along the way, helpful tips and guidance are included throughout. Each version has pros and cons, but there's no reason you can't mix and match the systems. The only limitation is that the supplied hierarchical materials are limited to particular outlays.

Whether you're crafting a grunge rocker or a sci-fi rebel, LI Grunge-Fest Hair puts the power of customization in your hands. So mix, match, and let your creativity run wild!

Happy rendering!

P.S. Oh, I've thrown a Mohawk in there too.....the proxy has some rigging too :)
