get rid of all specular and turn transparency falloff to zero. No transparency edge either. And detatch those nodes :o).

Then they are on the texture ;o). Open it up in a 2D program and have a look...lol.

Do I look for the eyebrows (which I now disconnected) or the SkinHead (which has eyebrows)?
And I suppose you would be suggesting to paint over the eyebrows then?
LaurieA posted Sat, 22 May 2010 at 9:27 AM
Yes, the eyebrows are painted on the SkinHead texture map. Can't get rid of those except to paint over them ;o). You could always use a map that has no eyebrows on the head texture. I think David uses Mike 3 textures, doesn't he? If you have an eyebrowless Mike 3 texture you like you can use that ;o).

Yes, David does, indeed, accept M3 textures, but good luck finding a texture map which doesn't include eyebrows. You might find something in a Merchant Resource package which will provide maps with separate brows.

I wish people wouldn't paint the eyebrows on the face map ;o). That kind of defeats the whole purpose of having separate groups for the eyebrows...lol.

The problem is that you can't get the depth you need with just one layer of transmap, I always use the overlay plus the map. At least it doesn't work for guys. Maybe a nice tweezed female map would be OK.

Thanks for the tip, Ghostofmacbeth,
I'll look at that, but what is the overlay and how do I use it?

There should be a material called eyebrow that is most often hidden, turn it on and you will probably see a darker area that can be used over the existing brows on the skin head texture.
