Need male hairs nao : Fallout 3

YES, this.
But instead of arguing senselessly, could someone actually just answer if they have a link to a male hair mod?

I've looked for a long time and haven't found anything.

But the reason I'm bashing the anime hairstyles or "medium" is because there are WAY TOO MANY of them.

not really. i can see the need for some more. so I wouldn't have said that. when is enough? i say keep going until the nexus implodes.

I will say that male hair and facial hair is generally under appreciated. hair is actually quite difficult to pull of a quality looking do. it's a bit quirky. I would like to do a couple male hair styles myself. but i am too busy. and i probably would have made ones that weren't to your taste either. Would have been retro 80s hair... so yeah basically anime :disguise:

I was working on some new male haircuts but unfortunately I blew up my computer. Thank god I made backups but I have no computer now that runs 3d max or fallout 3. But my bankacount is open for donations...

One of my Sims has a good hairdo (I can't find my picture right now). I'd like to get it into Fallout but I usually have issues somewhere between Nifskope and the game. It looks like it's all lined up but then in game it's floating way over to the side somewhere. I usually give up about then.
The importing, and converting is no problem, just the getting working in game is. Anyone know of a good tutorial? Maybe that might help see what I've not done properly.

My usual troubleshooting routine with NifSkope is to match it up as best as possible to a known working mesh: property settings, node layouts, etc.

Also, are you Conformulating it?

I've never really been able to get it to work for me. It either hangs/freezes or crashes while conformulating, or whatever it does :shrug:

That's what I usually do in Nifskope as well. Match it up to another hairstyle, copying settings and stuff. It's how I got some custom objects into Oblivion. Someone once mentioned using something else as a base. That http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=13308 I did I used a ceramic vase as it's starting point. To get everything lined up properly and collision in the right spots and all that

there are 2 mesh objects in hair files, hat and nohat, export each of the trishapes from nifskope as an obj. then conformulate each one. then you should have working facegen files for the nif. do not use the nif itself as the hair input file.

Ah okay. I was just doing it with the nif itself. Maybe that's why I have freeze problems. I'll do that, then. Thanks

Edit: OP, http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=6982 has a couple of decent male hairs. http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/images/6982-1-1277563929.jpg.
I wish I could make them from scratch then I could try and put a pack together. As well as more male clothing. I have ideas but can't think of anyone I could bribe into doing it for me :laugh:
