flashawd Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Hi - I created a hair system for a model. I want the hair to a shade of grey and brown so I created a new attribute (cell turb) as part of this hair system and made it grey and brown. When I apply the hair system material to the model the hair is showing as white. Can anyone let me know what I am doing wrong? Thanks - Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefreshestever Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 maybe you defined the surface color in the hair emitter´s properties as white, then the texture won´t show up... but i´d rather use a decal for coloring hair, it´s faster to render and does the same job...

KenH Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 It's working here in v14. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caroline Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 It is not working for me in v15, and I don't think it did for me in v14 either, as I have put in a couple of reports - the same project does in v13. However, as thefreshestever says, the decal method works well. Applying it is a bit confusing - you may need to revisit the wookie exercise in TAOA:M. test.prj This project renders correctly for me in v13 but not v 15.

flashawd Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 Thanks guys for your replies - Sebastian thanks for bringing up the decal - I had forgotten about that. For anyone who wasn't sure about the decal - it is under the Hair System's "hair emitter" there is a section at the top that says "image" - that is where you import the image. Still not sure why the other is not working for me - it wasn't set to white, but I'll give the decal a try and see how it looks. Thanks again - E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caroline Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Thanks - I never realised that you could apply an image to the hair like that - I always apply it as a decal and change the type of decal to Other > Hair > Diffuse Colour. I wonder which is better. I would have thought you could apply the decal more accurately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
