I have been making this new character from Apollo Maximus. I have not been able to find suitable hair... any suggestions?

Does anybody know how to get around what is happening with his pupils?

Thanks,
VRG

Not much help with hair.. Do you have the surface for the pupils set to black, no texture no specularity (though occasionally specularity there can be used to fake eye high lights I'd start with none then work on the highlights later)?

Thanks, Khory_D- I had started doing that- I will try and see it through. I found a hair making tutorial yesterday, but, life is too short- I always believe that there must be something out there that is already done that should work!

Looks like a bald Kiefer Sutherland. I suggest  Rievel Hair
It maybe for M3 but with some scalling should work for AM

Rievel and many of AprilYSH's other hairs like Ivandri have presets for Apollo Maximus

Thanks, nyguy and Andrew_C, I shall go and check those out. Then Jack will be back- with hair!

Cheers,

If you wanna go the cheap route -- and can spot something you like -- I did a bunch of refits of freebie prop hairs for Apollo Max. Here:

Links to all the hairs should be in the ReadMe.

Thanks, KatFeete- I already have those! Very nice work as it is pretty close to what I am after. The Khair is pretty close to what I am after but it just has that annoying bang. Is there a way to get rid of it, or is major surgery necessary?

Thaks,
VRG

Go into the Surfaces tab and find the KHair. Set the forelock to 0% opacity. Doesn't even leave any nasty holes in the hair, unlike some, and yay to Mylochka for that.

Glad you're finding the fits useful; it's always fun when someone does.

WOOHOO! It worked! Thanks, KatFeete.

Hi All

I would like to introduce Jan Bauman- undercover government agent. No postwork, this is just an implementation of all the suggestions and help from the community in this thread. Thanks one and all. I hope to get a chance to do something with Jan soon.

Regards,
VRG
