hi all i recently learnt how to use the uv mapper and so i went to edit my figures obj file (wich is based on E.J wich is an expansion for p5 judy)only to find that there are no eyebrows.ime totally lost as to how i can solve the problem if anyone can help please ide be eternally grateful.thanks in advance.and thanks to randym for his help with the uv mapper.

Post an image of the problem. When you export an OBJ, it will lose any transparency maps. I don't use EJ, so I don't know if that's your problem. If you post an image, though, I'm sure someone will know.

Did the original EJ have eyebrow materials? I don't have the figure, so I can't check. Some characters have transmapped brows, some have painted brows, and some have a mix of both.

Anyway, I have a feeling what happened was that you lost the transmapping when you exported the OBJ. How do her lashes look?

when i opened the ej figure in poser there were no eyebrows.but the template located at (poser5/runtime/textures)has got eyebrows on them.the only other files for ej are located in geometries wich is the obj and the character folder where the png,cr2 and rsr files are.there are no other files for ej at all (apart from some pose files).plus the original ej obj file has no eyebrows on the texture map or listed when opening in wordpad.if it helps the ej figure is based on the p5 judy wich before had eyebrows then i installed ej and the eyebrows are gone from the p5 judy figure also.

Okay, I loaded up Judy and looked at her material zones. She doesn't have separate eyebrow material zones. Her eyebrows are painted on, part of the face texture. I assume EJ is the same. Attach the face texture to Skinhead, and she should have eyebrows.

If the texture you are using is for V1/2, it may not have painted-on brows. I think you have to stick with textures that do have painted-on brows for Judy/EJ.

sorry to be a pain randym but how exactly do i attach a face texture to a skinhead.ime trying to read tutorials as fast as possible some stuff i already know other stuff such as textures and applying them i havnt got a clue on.but ide like to thank you for your time and patience already. cheers

If there are no MAT poses, attach the textures manually. You do it in the Material Room. Just connect the texture to the Diffuse Node of the proper material zone. If you're not sure, load up a figure that is rendering correctly, and go in the Material Room and see what the settings are.

However, I must say...if you don't even understand basics like how to apply textures, you really should not be trying to make your own figures. Learn the basics first.

cheers randym excellent although ide hardly describe the material room and application of texture files basic.thanks a lot youve been a great help.:)
