Ok so I tampered with ghostship2's hair shader into oblivion - I hope that's okay, and of course I will still give you credit - and now I love the result.

If anyone wants this shader, I'll post it, if ghostship2 is ok with it.

Looks pretty horrible in P11 though and I guess it's because it's blowing up all the many highlights I put in there - could be wrong though. The thing just... seems to be ignoring the color texture for whatever reason? I don't know.

Anyway, I'm a bit bummed that I'll have to offer different mats for P11 AND for P12, but hey, what ya gonna do. Now I just have to wait for them to fix the eyebrow thing and the HDRI background thing so I can start working on renders for this next hairstyle :3 until they do, I'll be sitting here making ports of my hairstyles to DS. Don't wanna release a new thing only to have to issue an update soon after.

Sure, I'll be willing to take look at your hair shader. Just as well wait until things are sorted out with the erroneous nodes. Sheesh, fix one thing break another. Neverending process.

@Afrodite-Ohki looks great! Yeah share the shader if you can. The more people get to use good working shaders the better.

Alright - credit ghostship2 for this, no need to credit me too, but you can if you'd prefer.

And I do realize that's a lot of node noodle so here, library preset ready to apply and replace with your textures (diffuse color, bump map and transparency map):

(@ghostship2 if you want to download this and share as a freebie feel free to if you'd like, I thought it should be posted by you if anything because you've come up with the whole logic I used for this variation.)

@Afrodite-Ohki I like the hair very much! A small tip when using compound nodes. If you have several compound inputs of the same type, for example 5 inputs for the colormap, use a Blendernode in the compound node for distribution. This makes the whole thing a bit clearer. Have a nice day!

Good idea! Thanks for the tip :)
