P.S: Anyone who knows how to use light has any tips on how to use light correctly in dark "rooms" so that the light seems realistic?
I was digging through some old pictures from around 2002, mainly from a news group I was in at the time that posted a lot of Poser images (usually using DAZ assets, before Daz Studio existed we used Poser and Daz sold assets for it). These were two of my favourites from that era...

I have a question for the people that have much more experience and are better at DAZ than I am. I am using Linday's Classic Long Hair with dForce for Genesis 8 Females with this model because I like dForce and I think Linday does it better than most. Plus, I think this hair style is a good fit for this model. But I have issues with a lot of dForce hair if the model is posed with her head tilted down. The previous render of this model I fought with because the hair kept coving her entire face. I had to jump through hoops to fix it. I first tried using PhilW's

(couldn't find this asset on F95) and steal the FaceShield part but could never get it separated from the hair itself. I really wanted this to work because you can manipulate the shield in so many ways. That being a bust I then tried loading Biscuits Kit Hair with dForce for Genesis 8 Female because it has a feature called RepelKit. What I had to do was to fit Kit hair onto the model, delete the hair part keeping the RepelKit part then fit the Linday hair asset to the RepelKit. This works after a fashion, but I can only expand the Repel kit larger, if you look at the FaceShield options that PhilW provides it can do a whole more!
So, my real questions are this: Is there something like FaceShield that is a standalone utility? If not, can I duplicate the FaceShield behavior by other means? Am I stuck doing all this extra work loading in multiple hair assets just to get a feature that works to keep hair out of the model's face?
Have you tried rotating the model back toward the direction you want the hair to lay, simulate, and then rotate the model back in position? Make sure to click off "Start from memorized pose" before simulating. Also, I've stopped the simulation when it look close to what I want. Sometimes it goes too far.
