VaM hair has been through several different versions since VaM was first released. Originally there was only Mesh based hair that was imported from DaZ studio models. MeshedVR, not being happy with the effect, created a couple iterations of Sim hair before creating the current custom hair system as it now is in V1 of VaM. Each version of Hair has its own UI interface as shown below.
Mesh based hair is one of the Legacy Hairs hidden by default with the ”Show Legacy” button in the interface.
These are the oldest versions of hair available in VaM.
“Ponytail” is an example of one of the legacy mesh Hairs.
”Customize” clicking on this button opens an interface specific for mesh based hair.
