I really hate the texture maps with transmap hair, so i created a shader that removes that horrible pre-draw light effect from the hair and follows the hair. i will be adding this shader to the freebie section here at some point... oh and this only works on hair that has the transmap going from top to bottom....(will have to pick BB brains if someone wants left to right,lol)

Getting old and still making "art" without soiling myself, now that's success.
