Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Dec 11 2:52 am)



Subject: Thinning hair when renderoing with Superfly. Any suggestions?

Older poser character skin rendered in Poser 11 Pro, Superfly, EZskin 3, and a small tweak to the eye surface. Next challenge is to figure out how to keep hair from thinning when rendered with Superfly. Any suggestions?

What root node are you using? I would check the transparency or opacity level on that hair.

I'd play with the filtering setting in the image map of the transparency instead.

Default is Quality. Try Crisp.

Using crisp or quality won't help. those are ignored in SF

Some of the hair transmaps aren't as high quality as superfly needs. some have too many jpg artifacts. Firefly is more forgiving than superfly. I've fixed a few with lightening the image in a 2d paint program. Select the lighter portions so you don't brighten the transparent part and brighten or lighten it. Different software has different methods. Alternatively, if you have it or can find it (or similar) is a filter called ghost by flaming pair. It will turn black and white images into transparent images based on the darkness of the image. You will need to make the image negative because white is more transparent. Run the filter. You can then duplicate the layer a few times to make it less transparent merge the layer down to one again make it negative. Add a black layer behind it and then save the image as a replacement or a second map that you use instead.

first thing you need to check is your gamma setting for your trans maps. Make sure it's set to "custom gamma value" @ 1.0. If not your hair will come out thin and wispy. Same for eye lashes.

And brows if you use transmapped brows.
