Problem with PP hair

Davy · November 20, 2009, 08:00:35 PM

I've been away from this forum for a while (been exploring some 3D software such as Poser and iclone). But today i decided to make a new head in People Putty. And PP seems to have a problem with hair. It looks fine in the PP preview window, but when i save the haptar head, the hair is very blocky. This is better explained with screenshots. The first is the PP preview, and then the screenshot of the haptek head.

Clearly something is not right. Any idea what might be wrong?

EDIT: I think maybe the problem is with the haptek player, not People Putty. All my older .htr heads have blocky hair. [:(!]

maybe you could unload your hapteck program and reload it again , sometimes reinstalling something will help but make sure your files are backed up first .[:)]

Yes, i was going to try un-installing the haptek player, but it's not listed under Control Panel\Add or Remove Programs. So i don't know how to un-install or what to delete, or what to download and install. I have two hap player applications at these paths ...

C:\Program Files\Haptek\PeoplePutty\happlayer41139.exe

C:\Program Files\Haptek\player\HapAXPlayer.exe

I am confused as to what i should do, afraid i'll really mess things up. I need some expert help. [:)]

Try to un install the haptek program. That may help. Or you could try to reload it.

Thanks Lightspeed. Now i find it, listed as "The Haptek Player". I was looking for "Haptek Player". [:I]

I'll try un-installing and re-installing, hopefully that will fix my problem.

Ok, i want to make sure i'm doing this right before i un-install the Haptek player. I backed up this folder ...

C:\Program Files\Haptek\player

But i'm not sure which version i need to download. I'm finding links to various versions, such as Haptek Player 4.11.40. Is this the latest version? Or should i use this link to install?

Thanks

light and davy you wanted changes in hair. nige knows how to change hair shape and color and so does jack and dusky.

Davy · November 21, 2009, 05:30:19 PM

At this time, i would be happy to get hair to display properly. All of my female .htr files display very blocky hair, even the full body female. So this can't be a People Putty problem, it must be a problem with the haptek player. I un-installed and re-installed the haptek player, but the problem still exists.

Unless i can get this fixed, i am finished with Haptek and People Putty. [:(!]

Here is a screenshot of the full body female.

Re-install the player 41139.

Davy · November 21, 2009, 09:06:30 PM

I can't find an installer for version 41139. The only installer i can find is for version 41140.

41140 should be fine.
install and see if it straightens up.
