MRL Amara Braids posing not working on male.

GhostDog

I'm trying to use MRL Amara Braids  https://www.daz3d.com/mrl-amara-braids-for-genesis-3-and-8-female-s

on a male genesis 8.1 character but as soon as I fit the hair all the hair pose controls (except thickness) stop working. 

Help! I love the hair and want to use it.

If they use custom bones for posing then autofitting the hair will remove those, that's normal.

I suggest parenting the hair to the head rather than autofitting: load G8M in default position, load hair but don't use "fit to", manually position / scale / morph the hair so that it fits the default figure, then parent it to the figure's head so that it follows the pose.

Thank you Leana!

You could also try the Scene Identification trick. Load the hair not fitted to the figure, select the hair, click the three-lined "hamburger" icon in the Scene pane, then go to (not at a computer, so I may not get this exactly right) Edit -> Scene Identification, change preferred base to G8.1M, then fit it to your male figure.

Good morning from here. I tried to use the braid section option but it doesn't work. Have any tips for me?

The braid option is a shader, not a material. You must select the Amara hair in the Scene tab and one of the three individual braids parts in the Surface tab.
