I see some lovely rendered images from talented people where the texture mapped eyebrows look like real hair. I have vic2 maps, and indeed, on the map it looks like a hairy eyebrow. But when I apply the texture and transparency, no hairy brows! Help! and why does victoria have TWO sets of eyebrows (lower and upper)?

If you check in the materials window, there are actually 3 eyebrows listed (one being the "upper eyebrows"), but one of them (the last one I think) doesn't actually do anything. If you want the eyebrows that are shown on the texture map to be seen you have to do one of two things... either set the transparency of the "upper eyebrows" to 100% with no transmap set (so that it will disappear completely once rendered) or morph the eyebrows away. If you have Victoria2 there is a "browsgone" (I think that's what its called) morphed that pulls the upper eyebrows into the head so you can't see them. Otherwise they block the view of the texture map underneath... I hope that made sense and was helpful.

thanks much! will try both of these, they make lots more sense than what I was doing...

I had the same problem at first. Use transmap and transparency set to 100% ONLY on the UPPER eyebrow, not on the base eyebrow, and you'll be hot to trot! :) Enjoy. Melanie

Vickie 1.0 also has the brows gone morph but it's way down toward the bottom of the dials and it's called BrowsIn Marque

I just set them to black so she looks like Groucho Marx :)

Hey... you could spawn new props of the eyebrows, move them closer together, and stick them under her nose for a mustache... then all you need are some glasses and a cigar.
