Ok although I didn't get the haircut as neat as I could, but it's a good start. But I think this worked out well. Now that I figured out the problems I was having with trans maps. I've included the (bottom pic) origional Poser render just to show what little (some say a little some say alot) I did in post. I've also changed the color to a dirty blonde. (origional red/henna is available too) My posting question is... I will of course include the: 3 trans maps 4 Texture maps (2 blonde, 2 red) Obj file ReadMe txt with extensive instructions But should I include the Hr2 I created? Or should I just zip the Pz3 and maps? James

The PZ3 would work with the maps, but it would do no harm to include the HR2 also. Looks good too :)

umm... what do you need the pz3 for? are you posting a hair prop, or a whole character? dont need the whole character (pz3) to just get hair. :) i'd do the maps, the obj, the hair hr2 and rsr. (rsr is wholly optional.)

Allerleirauh i have to agreee with you there i don know why poser 4 users still use tiffs anyway. either way is fine for me beggers cant be chooser's and I am begging you please post this one :)

I thought tifs mapped smoother and better than jpgs... That what I read on another thread anyways... Not sure, but I think I'll test it out myself.... James the hair is PERFECTLY Wonderful.... =) Looking forward to it... I also prefer a hr2... ~Cindy

Byte Sez: I thought tifs mapped smoother and better than jpgs... That what I read on another thread anyways... There is some distortion with JPEGs but not much. The advantage to using JPEG is obvious--shorter download time and smaller files. The advantage of not using JPEG (now that Poser supports GIF files) is that a texture that only requires 8-bit or 4-bit color actually uses less Poser memory than the same texture in JPEG format. The trade-off of using JPEGs is hard-drive space vs. program memory for textures that require 8-bit color or less.

Oooo ok!!! Thanks for that bit of info Freakachu... I understood jpgs being smaller but did not know they used more memory... I think that's good to know for a lot of people.. I have plenty of memory but fast approaching a full Harddrive... I have 192 MB of memory and a 19.2 GB Harddrive.. My husband said I'd never fill a 19.2 GB HD up.. I told him to watch me.... =) ~Cindy
