[Ugly line with diffuse map]

Thanks for the suggestion...

 

I did try fading a mask around the bump map, and it faded it nicely around the edges to the neck, BUT it turned the whole face BLACK - like she had been painted with oil or something. I then tried lessening the percentage of the decal , but then I lose all the nice blotching of the face color!

 

I may just hang it up and take the darn thing off.

 

FRUSTRATED! Any more suggestions?

[Ugly line with diffuse map]

Hey there. I am new... So, please excuse dumb questions.

 

Here is my head model.

The head on the left has a diffuse decal over the face, the other one does not.

(See attached picture) Short of applying the diffuse map to the entire body, how do I smooth this transition? Just smooth the diffuse map out at the corners?

 

What are shaders? Would that help?

 

Any other general comments? This is my first try... I guess after this I

a rig her?

b pose her?

c bone her?

d attach to a body that is boned or not.

Help - I would eventually like to animate her.

 

Sorry for the newbie questions.

[Make a keyboard shortcut key for plugins?]

I would like make a keyboard shortcut for things like the font or the duplicator wizard. I would be happy if I could just make ONE for all the plugins while in the modeling window.

 

Just can't seem to make it work!

 

Thanks, Melissa
