Eowyn's Hair

Alright, I've been at this for about an hour now, and I'm just not getting it.

I've been polishing up my models lately, and I got to Arwen today. Gave her a nice new dress, nice boobs, better ass, etc. I also had to fix up her hair. The binding job I did on it was less than spectacular, and looked like a tangled mess. So I tried redoing it, and got another mess. I tried a different approach, and got another mess. I tried a third time, then a fourth, and on the fifth try I got mad and closed the program.

So, I was wondering if anyone here has worked with Eowyn's base model (I'm looking at Hasty and nick here), and if said people could give me a little insight into binding the hair. Below is a top-down image of Eowyn's hair and head with approximated bones with their corresponding numbers. Maybe this could help someone explain to me where they bound what; or, if you're feeling generous, it can be colour coded and then uploaded again for viewing enjoyment and greater comprehension... TO THE MAX... *cough*



Thanks in advance.

Reason why I stick with boom, blam, zip, spaceships. I hate binding infantry models. Took me days to do my skeleton infantry. But by God I can bind models.

This is my kind of mod
But I guess that the hair goes with the head
But I more wonder what the quilver on archer goes on

Are you giving her a dress On/Off Toggle?

Eowyn's hair actually has 7 bones set out specifically for it. And archer quivers usually work fine when bound to the ribs/chest bone (though some, like the Elven Warriors (which has SHEATHBONE), have bones specifically for them).

Now please, while I find the whole prospect of handing out another "Hot Coffee" mod very amusing, can we get back to the question at hand?

EDIT: Halbarad just suggested that I take a look at the original Eowyn model... Wow... I think I did a better job than these guys did. I always noticed the cloak being badly animated ingame, but the hair is terrible too... Well, atleast I now know it's not my fault. If a moderator would like to close this thread, feel free to do so.
