Discovery: if windlight is making your light-colored hair have weird shadows, make it full bright. (This is a good reason for even rigged mesh hair to be mod!)
^ Exactly. It's a give-and-take, I guess: what's more important, having it look a little better to you on your end, or having it probably look ridiculous to everyone else?
No no just while I'm taking the picture! Then I make it normal again.
Helpful photography tip, terrible advice for normal SLing.
But even in very bright light, with advanced lighting on, some weird shit happens to my hair sometimes.
Ahhh, gotcha!
