A.Use the Layout Base.

 
 
Layout Base comes with many sub-nodes (with rotation settings). You can quickly position your hair element by using the coordinate textures of the Layout Base. For more information on Layout Base introduction, please see "What is Layout Base".
A-1 Load any character and remove the hair on the character.
 
  Tip. Remove the hair of the character to prevent the Layout Base being blocked.
A-2

Switch to Actor/Accessories, and load any Layout Base (Ex.Layout Base_F).

 
  After the Layout Base is loaded, detach it immediately.
 

  Keep the Layout Base where it was.
 
 
 
 

B.Attach Hair Elements to the Layout Base

 
 

Choose the hair element that you need based on the hair style that you want and attach it to the Layout Base.

B-1 Use Scalp Base
  Load any Scalp Base (Ex. Scalp Base B) based on the hair style that you want.
 
  Right click on it and attach it to the Layout Base.
 
  Open the Modify/Attach/Attach to Sub-Node window.
 
  Choose the uppermost layer, check Align Position.and click OK.
 

  Scalp Base will now align with Layout Base
 
  Tip. It is normal that other hair elements penetrate the Layout Base. Layout Base will not be rendered. Pressing Ctrl+D will switch the display status of Layout Base to make it show or disappear, so it's easy to the hair style that you just made.
