Quote - I just picked up some new hair sets from Mairy & 3Dream (they were among yesterday's featured artists at the DAZ PA sale)

This one is Eurydice Hair ( 2 styles), an older product I have been wanting to try out. I think it looks pretty good for out-of-the-box(no bump, displacement or normal maps)

Once I get a copy of CrazyBump I will make bump maps for the set I think.  

Meanwhile, I seem to remember someone (Paolo maybe?) posting about using the diffuse texture as a bump map? Anyone have details on how to go about this or maybe alternate methods of making a bump/normal map from the Diffuse? I used to have Randall's homemade bump map to fall back on at least, but lost it in my recent HD restructuring. ( I think I accidently deleted the folder it was in sigh hope that's all I lost lol)

I liked the hair results enough to try it out in my close-up shot:

I like the way it turned out, what little of it you can see looks good to me. What do you guys think of the hair?

They look real nice, I almost bought them but am forcing self to wait for Mec4D's hair.

You might want to check out ShaderMap2 for your bump/normal maps.
