Layer REC is subtool dependent, you must transpose each subtool individually, or merge subtools.
(i havnt played with ‘contacts’ at all, maybe there is something there)
hair is a different good, i’d say…still needs work. Posing fibermesh for hair is a tricky art that i havnt mastered yet but there are many fibermesh settings under the brush palette which are the key to grooming… there is a mask option which if you turn off allows you to move the root (whole) of the hairs…there is a setting which causes the hair to stay away from the surface behind (head) as you groom, which can be annoying. Be sure to polygroup your hair, then mask by poly groups and you can groom individual sections. A master tip is appending a shpere(s), using move brush to create a “road” that you will groom the hairs along (think paths/guides) then when groomed delete sphere(s). For eyebrows i remove the mask setting and use the move brush on short fibers…usually i do 2 to 3 really short fibermesh subtools. (you could always just sculpt some dynamesh eyebrows!)
