I am working with Victoria 2 here. As you can see, I cannot get the brown bands in the eyebrow area to disappear so that the texture eyebrow (the good one) shows through. If you look closely you can see that the tex eyebrow is there, but I need to eliminate the big ugly one. How do I do this? Is there a setting I'm forgetting (hey, a rhyme!)? Please give me info.

Thanks,

Steve

You should be looking for a morph dial on the head titled 'BrowsGone'...set that dial to 1, and your problem is solved. :)

On the Upper eyebrows you need to apply a transparancy map. there is one on the lashes and you should be able to use that one hopefully. 100 percent min and max witht he map applied. Hope that helps. And that is for the Upper eyebrows only.

What should my settings be for the bottom eyebrows?

well... cut off a 4-5" strip of duct tape, and then press it firmly over your eyebrow. make sure it is stuck REAL good, then RIP it off! ta-da! your eyebrow is gone! repeat with other eyebrow. of course, you'll have to do this again in a few weeks or so, as they tend to grow back. pesky little things. :) sorry, i couldn't resist.

The settings should be the same color and texture as the skin. If you use transparancies they wil simply leave holes in the head.

Oops, it's in the Poser section. Just click on the Poser button and there you are. Melanie

Like Ghost said. There are several free transmaps out there. I have some on my site. A high proportion of textures also come with additional transmaps - several as a part of the main texture map. There is a morph in free stuff to set the mesh in the proper location. Default is too high. What you want to do is open a copy of any head textures that you use and replace the fur on the main part of the head with the surrounding skin- clone function. Nan's Real Grrl's has several upperbrows transmaps that are pretty good, and her faces poses set them for you.

The material labeled "eyebrow" is incorrect, that is actually the skin beneath the eyebrow hairs. The settings you use for "eyebrow" should match the settings you use for the face (skinhead) The material labeled "upper eyebrow" is the part that should use the transmap, giving you the hairs of the eyebrow. While using the morph "brows gone" does work it doesn't give you the best results. I have a tutorial on my website as well as a free texture set that includes a transmap for vicky that you may want to check out.

Also, looking back at you image I'll give 2 pointers (just in case you can use them) 1. when you want to do a close-up, change the focal length of the camera to 70-80 (parameter dials of the camera) 2. anti-alias the render (get to that under render options, control-Y)

here's my results using the textures and methods I've mentioned.

I go even further with camera focal setting. I do 100-120. Probably such a small difference it isn't that noticeable, however, the 25 default setting is way too low. I even use 100 on everything, including full body shots. My figures all come out looking fine. Melanie

Sorry... couldn't resist... Anyway, I believe for the upper eyebrow, you could simply apply a full transparency setting, as is I believe the solution for most Victoria maps that were not originally intended for Victoria 2
