hair movement?

[𝓳amie 👽]

i've found for the latest hairstyle i made the bmps move a little weird from the back and occasionally when she tilts her head. is there anything i can do about this or is it just part of the pain  of bmps???

You used my bmp hair base for this, right? If you center the very top of the strand where it kind of peels of her head on the crosshairs, that would fix the issue for the most part I think! The crosshairs is sort of the central point that the bmp rotates around, so anything that curves too far away from it can look a bit weird sometimes.

it's always gonna look funky from the back unless you make everything perfectly symmetrical 
buuuut if your hair is as centered ~as possible~ but is too long to be perfectly centered, you're gonna have some issues with that I'm afraid! Most of my bmp styles are longgg which means centering them is impossible, you've either gotta cover it up with something in front of it or just live with it

ohh okay! i was centering it in the middle of the strand, not at the top of it! i'll have a play when i have a mo and see if it makes a difference! only thing is i've noticed from briefly checking is that if i center it like that 100% it doesn't fit on the bmp anymore and i dont wanna make yet another template lol ;;

I'm p sure if it doesn't fit on the bmp then you can wrap the image around and put the part that doesn't fit on it at the top of the bmp instead?
I can't explain it so I'll show you an example lol, this is what I mean (it doesn't use the hair bmp template but you get the idea)



As for the bmps looking weird when she tilts her head, what I do is make sure the strand doesn't like... abruptly end at the top. I kinda make it taper inwards so that it sort of intersects with the head. If the colours are similar it's not noticeable.
I'll show you an example again lol...



I made this small edit to Karnak's ears where I added a bit of hair coming off the orange part of the ear itself so that if the ear does happen to tilt off the head when he moves, you can see a bit of hair connecting it so it's not as distracting. You could do the same with hair bmps and make them taper like this~

if you use riley's crosshair base, then wrapping won't work since riley's base is as big as the maximum ball size! the only way to do long bmp styles is to either split/overlap bmps or have them move a lil funny (but you can mask the funny moving bits like aleisha suggested).

fu maximum ball size, tbh.
