BrowsGone morph (31 morphs from the top) another method is to choose the UpperEyebrows material and set it to transparent.

Theres a facial MT called brows I think that you dial to negative and that makes them go away (receed into head). They are for doing transparent brows.

Shadowcat...thank you. I, too, am having eyebrow ttroubles.

They really are useful for the transparant brows though S Make it much more realistic

I had the same problem. It's really not intuitive, and the brows_gone morph is NOT the answer. There are actually three eyebrow materials - in order from the top, eyebrows - Upper Eyebrows - Eyebrows (I think that's right from memory) and these are not even together in the list. What you need to do is: set the first of these to the skin texture you're using for the head, and set the colour to the same flesh colour you have for the head. Then go to Upper Eyebrows, add a suitable transparency and make them what colour you want. Don't forget to set transparency 100%. I think the last one you can ignore, I haven't found what it does. This gave me good results when I tried it out this morning for the first time after installing V2 but it took me 30 mins to work it out, and at one point I thought I would be starting this thread, not replying to it. What it boils down to is that V2 "out of the box" is an incomplete product - inadequate docs and no starting texture. Mean.

Set all object colours to white and then apply your Vicky head texture to all head parts except for the upper eyebrows. After that go and make the upper eyebrows transparent by setting both transparency max and min to 100% and falloff to 0%. Should be fine after that - I haven't had any problems with Vicky2's eyebrows at all.

I you have the new Vicki textures from Daz you should use the trans map on the 'Upper Eyebrows' It makes the brow hairs appear to prodrude from the head. Much more realistic...

Should say 'protrude'... Sorry.

I also had problems with both the Vicki 2 & Vicki 2P4 eyebrows. I'm a very experienced poser user and know I could have solved it on my own but thanks to those that take the time to post in the renderosity forums, again has saved me hours of frustration. I agree with Phantast, there is no exuse for not having a starting texture or at least a doc for the Vicki2 eyebrows, it's not like it's a hidden bug that maybe they didn't notice.
