This ones a shag. I love the 'inherit bend properties of' option when setting parent. These previews are without transmaps. Those come later. I want to do some 'bang' props. If anyone knows of any good hair 'trasparancy' tutorials, let me know, please. I'm very excited about these. Animations with great hair is fast becoming a reality. Anton

Anton, terrific! My only tiny, tiny criticism is that the hair cuts off too suddenly at the bottom, though I realise you're having to trade off accuracy against polygon count. As well as transparency tutorials is there any chance of a more general hair modelling tutorial for us mortals. I can make solid props like lamp posts and the like but I really struggle with 'soft' shapes like hair and bodies. For all the British members, is it my imagination or does she look like Joanna Lumley?

Anton, that is outstanding. Maz, you're right you know, that does look just like Joanna Lumley! Paul

I still have to do the Trans maps. All the edges will be fringy. I guess I should have put her in a french twist.

Hi Anton, the hair looks great! Here is the link for a transmap tutorial: http://www.vowel.or.jp/~kozaburo/tutorial/hair.html Chris

Chris, Thanks alot. Their technique is the same as the one I finally came up with. I only wish I had seen that weeks ago. Oh well, off the the modeling board. :) Thanks again Anton Ps: Get ready for lots of hair.

Anton, no problem. Can't wait to see your new hair maps. Chris

This is beautiful, Anton! Very promising! :]FishNose
