I am trying to learn how to make some hair textures for some of the hair models I have. Does any one know where there are some good tutorials on this subject? Thanks in advance for any help you can give me :)

bookmarks? Acadia wants to know too, when someone "bookmarks" they are posting so that they will get an e-mail when a response is made to this thread.

Do you mean like the tutorials about half-way down this page? http://www.perpetualvisions.com/tocs/toc-articles.htm Or is a hair texture something different that that?

Nice link, useful stuff there but I didn't see anything on what I'm looking for tho :( What I am looking for is lets say make my own textures for Agent Hair by taking the templates and adding "real hair" to it, like all the other merchants out there making textures for hair items do. I just want to learn how to make my own textures so I can quit spending so much money :)

it's easy nosiferret, just cut and paste it on the templates on the right spots
Acadia posted Sun, 05 June 2005 at 6:04 AM
? Do you mean find or take a picture of someone and cut and paste their hair onto the template from the picture you have?

yes that's all

WOW, That sounds almost too simple. I'm going to have to try this.

Thanks Rockadon I'll give it a try. I was thinking it was either ultra easy or so top-secret since I couldn't find any tut's on it. :)
Acadia posted Sun, 05 June 2005 at 5:06 PM
I'd opt for the "ulta top secret", because I've asked this same question a number of times and this is the first time I've actually seen this particular answer. I too will have to try this. Now I have another question to add to the mix....I've seen some hair where the applied texture changes the "style" or "length"... how is that accomplished?

that is accomplished by transemaps
Lucca posted Sat, 06 January 2007 at 2:48 PM
There are several ways to go about that, Arcadia. Here are a few. :)
If the hair is a mesh object, you could use morphs or, as Rockadon pointed out, use transmaps.
All you have to do to make a basic transmap is load the template into your photo editor, make the hair you want visible solid white(maybe with blurring and smudging along the edge so it looks like realistic) and the background black.
I hope it helps!
