Hisako 100112 Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 i have this square that i was experimenting putting hair on. I added a bump and a trasnparancy but when i render it, the whole top part of the shape gets cut off. maybe i should stick to the particle system, but i don't think it can make ponytails and braids effectively (am i wrong?) here is the image of the hair square. does anybody know what my problem is?

Luuk Steitner Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I think the problem could be in your transparency map. If you post your project we can take a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ponytails can be created with the "shift-hair" in a very easy way... When you create the hair-emitter press "Shift" while you click on Hair. Now create a spline in a model-window. Assign the material to the spline (go to the "Spline"-Folder and drag it on the spline not on a group!) *Fuchur* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The image does not show how the transparency decal is placed. Maybe it makes the top transparent because the decal does not cover the entire model. That should not be the problem, but maybe it is.

KenH Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 If a transparency map crosses a patch, it'll make the rest of it transparent. So, you need to increase the number of patches in your model......or increase the amount of white in the map so that it covers the upper part of the model. This way, AM will know to make the upper part visible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeSlice Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 It is always a good idea to make all images which are in the same decal (color,bump,transparency etc) the same size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
