Ah, okay! Silly me thought is was all finished and stuff. Lovely work! I'm very excited that there's a texture for Antonia now. Let me know how it goes with the seams.
Quote - I think using trans maps for that and the eyebrows is wayyy better. :)
Speaking of which: I made a little "genital cap" the other day that I considered including with the mesh much like the toecaps. I ended up deciding against that, but I think the geometry could well be used as a basis for creating panties or pubic hair props. So I'll try to remember to include it when I upload Antonia this weekend.
Quote - And in keeping with the spirit of the thing, this texture will be FREE!
Awesome! That's the spirit.
Quote - But I have a fantasy tex in mind that will need to wait until she is fully read to go. :)
Sounds great.
Quote - On the "invisible" thing, I just automatically assumed it should be invisible and made it transparent...lol. Wondered what it was for though.
Well, it looks like it's not fully transparent. Could be the transparency falloff, as bagginsbill suggested. Also, I ended up setting the intensities for diffuse, specular and ambient to zero for invisible things. Not completely sure it influences the render, but maybe worth a try.
I can post the settings I used for making things invisible when I get back home tonight.
For the sake of argument here I prefer figure textures w/o painted on pubic hair. I can't tell you how much time I waste getting my paid for HiRes textures and freebies and remove the painted on black or red or pink painted on pubic hair so it will look right with the color hair on her head. For that matter I prefer not having painted on eyebrows either for there same reason...oh and don't forget bikini lines.
V2 which i am still using has a pubic hair/upper eyebrow prop attached. I prefer using those elements with textures and transmaps and give the figure the pubic hair/upper eyebrows I choose to give her...or none at all....instead of being forced by the texture artist what will or will not be used. Offering a broad range of choices...intelligently....at this development stage, brings breadth and depth to the figure otherwise not offering choices does not.
If it cannot be an attached prop or cap then make it smart propped but offer something please! :)
