These pictures above from page 12, 7th post from the bottom, posted Thu, May 8, 2008 9:48 pm, edited Thu, May 8, 2008 9:49 pm, were created by me.  However, you were partly correct in your explanation before discovering that this was Jepe's texture with painted on hair.

Apollo does have a Hair TransMap, which we all know is way better than painted on hair. 

Jepe's texture doesn't have a TransMap, all the hair was painted on (I believe, by hand.)  In fact, he provided in that package 4 separate Maps with different degrees of hair.  Hopefully from what he's learned in this thread, in the future, he'll provide 1 hairless texture and then 3 separate TransMaps.

So the picture on the left is AMUCFS with Jepe's Dick AM VI plugged into it.  Again, Jepe doesn't include a Hair TransMap and that's why the hair is so flat in left picture.

I took the texture map into PS and desaturated it, blew it up with light so almost everything washed away.  I then erased everything that wasn't hair and wa-la:  A Hair TransMap.  Which is applied on the right and makes the hairs POP off the body.  I l;earned all that with your help.

Now, I just need to figure out how to apply Hair TransMaps in VSS so get them on my models in the future.
