hey thanks for the plug queri, judith, CryptoPooka and Little_Dragon :)

i find using a lower res texture on it makes it rougher looking and gives that overcooked look dreads have.

i didn't include a really low res texture though... but i can tell you how to make one. in photoshop fill a layer in white and have black and white selected as your colours, then add noise. then it's just a matter of motion blurring to the correct angle to the template... at a distance of about 15 pixels on the original template size, if i recall correctly. then do adjust hue/colourise to what colour you need. when rendered, this looks all pixelated and rough like dreads. (this is why i didn't use this method for the textures cos i wanted a smooth real hair look, so i stroked each strand in there by hand! haha)

that's how i made this rough texting texture.

but don't be misled, that model is NOT the final model of spiral curls hair you'll find at 3-darena. this was a messy starter for the model and the front didn't work properly. i'm just showing it for the texture illustration :)
