Using the prim hair with your baby

The new prim hairs are already available but the way to apply it is a little different to how skins or clothes are added, this is because we will add a prim to the baby

To add the hair to the baby

First make shure you have at least the 2.53 version of the baby.

Rez the baby and the hair on the floor next to each other.

On the edit menu of the baby click "Hair" and accept the dialog asking if you wish to merge the two objects.

If everything went right the Hair will be merged with the baby, rezise itself to fit on your baby and move to the correct position.

This process is know to fail in some SIMS because of a reported bug. If this fails, try again on another Sim or merge it manually .

For merging the Hair Manually:

Go to edit mode / build mode on the viewer

Select first the hair and then the baby (with crl key to maintain the selection) ITS IMPORTANT THAT IT SHOULD BE IN THIS ORDER

Link them together ("Link" under tools menu or Crl+L under windows)


The hair itself uses just one prim, but the total amount of prim usage is reported as of almost 10 more prims. The actual cost on the server is currently unknown.

I will try to add a video tutorial shortly to make the process clearer

Changing the Hair color

Once the hair is merged the "Hair" button under edit on your baby´s menu is used to selecting the hair texture. Prim hairs comes with 8 texture colors plus a custome slot for bought or custome made versions.

Custom hair textures can be made downloading the PSD files available shortly on this same blog. To apply your own custom made hair to your baby, uploaded it to SL and apply it manually over the hair as any texture on SL. The hair design will be stored by the baby on the custom slot so you can change between all the hair designs.

To apply a 3rd party hair design, just apply it using the same method as if you where adding a skin. It will save it under the custom slot.

A new update on the design studio will be available shortly to add the support of selling hair textures, so make your imagination run wild and edit the hair in any way you wish.

Updates on the hair design

I can finally say that the scripting it´s almost done. So expect the new hair designs to be available before Christmas. Also I also made a second hair design you can choose.

The hair will come with 8 hair textures plus will be compatible with the design studio and I will make available the photoshop files. That way anyone can customise the baby´s hair in anyway he wants and make it available for all.

As the hair is a prim you have to add to the baby, it will come in two flavour: copy/no trans or trans/no copy. I can´t give you the price right now of each one but because of recovery the hair will be gone so it must be applied again. This means that in some cases you must buy the hair again.

On the other hand if you have a copy/no trans hair, you wont have this problem but you wont be able to transfer the baby to your partner with the hair.

Its not a perfect solution but by giving both options anyone can choose the solution that better fits to their case.

Design Studio Skin textures

Some Tatu Designers has ask me for the original skin tones to make clothes that shows some skin (like bathsuits for example) and here they are. Download them and use them on your creations.

By the way, I´m still working on the prim hair, and even I have already finish with the modelling and textures, the fact of adding a prim on the baby has prove to be more difficult than what I expected. So expect an update to make all babies compatible for this feature.

Brace yourself, hair is comming

Sorry I have been away these days but I was actually working on the SL Beta Grid and offline.

And what have i been doing? Well something everyone has ask me for a while, HAIR!

Yup. its mesh hair and once its done it shouldn´t increase the prim count of the babies luckly by more than 1 prim

Sorry, this is the only hair design right now as its really hard to model hair, but it will be available in a large variety of hair tones.

Baby Tatu HUD Update 1.03

Last Friday I released a new update for the Baby Tatu HUD that includes some tweaks plus the ability to handle the baby´s list. Now its possible to remove or reset the list of babies and sets a maximum number of 12 babies to handle.

This is something asked by many clinic doctor´s where the old HUD might crash when used for too many babies, as the available memory would drop with each baby.

Now the HUD watches the amount of memory available to prevent any of those old problems.

Purple MedKit available

A new med kit its available. This med kit doesn´t heal your baby but it instantly skips a growth stage. This is thought for parents that doesn’t have the patience or couldn’t reach the amount of points needed that week and still wants their baby to reach their next stage.

It comes on a purple color and in two flavors and it will be only available on the marketplace for now.

1 shot

And 3 shots

How to use it

To use this medkit apply it as any medkit. Rez it near the baby and go to ALIFE / HEAL. A shot will be applied changing your baby’s personality. After that take your baby to the inventory and rez it again so the new stage is loaded by all the scripts.
