3DArtZ Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Pretty cool Mark! maybe ur thinking this, down the road, but how about a texture map or something to change the color(darker?) of the skin under the hair???

mtpeak2 Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 Thanks Mike. I wasn't planning on adding a map to darken the scalp. I'm not much of a map maker. I did have shadows turned off in the hair system, the shadows would help to darken the scalp. I was considering adding bump maps to the forehead for wrinkles though and have the rig drive the percentage of the map. Got that idea from you.

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted March 23, 2009 Hash Fellow Share Posted March 23, 2009 I think that looks pretty successful, but I think this idea... but how about a texture map or something to change the color(darker?) of the skin under the hair??? would be an easy improvement to avoid the doll-hair look. It wouldn't have to be a complicated map. Just fade into something darker from the edge of the hair line. I remember some close-ups in "Incredibles" that made me go "ouch... doll-hair". It's a tough problem to solve. But your work does look very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meowx Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 They actually painted Jude Law's hairline in a harsh line for the movie AI to give him a more "artificial" feel. Odd example I suppose, because this is just the opposite of what you what; however, putting in a darker scalp with a more faded line will create an excellent look for under the hair.

mtpeak2 Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 Thanks. Here's a render with the MuhHair shader turned ON. I'm not sure if I like it or not, too blonde. I'll have to look into the settings for the shader. I'm also using the skin shader, so I'm not sure how the hairline map will look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve392 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Mark I found playing with the settings in the muhhair helps a lot ,brilliant looking model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meowx Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 The shading there looks fantastic, is Muhhair an addon or is it built into Hash? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtpeak2 Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 Yes, the MuhHair shader comes with A:M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*A:M User* Shelton Posted March 24, 2009 *A:M User* Share Posted March 24, 2009 Mark What shader do use for the skin? Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtpeak2 Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 Yves' skin shader, I believe it comes with A:M as well. If not, it's on the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frosteternal Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I finally added hair to this model. What do you think? Nice work, I like the expression particularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phatso Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I haven't looked at the hair machine for a while - is there a way to transition gradually from "bald" to "hairy"? Few people have a hairline that's that well defined. When I look in a mirror I see a gradual transition. (Well, actually, two mirrors. For some years now, I've had to look at the back of my head to see the hairline. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtpeak2 Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 Thanks Jesse. Phatso, you can use a density map. You can also adjust the density in grooming mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bigboote Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 WOW! Looking good! Great expressions... you GOTTA use the muhair...too shiney? There are TONS of settings you can tweek to adjust that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*A:M User* Shelton Posted April 3, 2009 *A:M User* Share Posted April 3, 2009 Mark I am trying to get hair on my new characters. Did you make a skull cap or use the mesh of the character to place the hair? Did you groom him in an action or on the model? Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtpeak2 Posted April 3, 2009 Author Share Posted April 3, 2009 Applied to character mesh and groomed in modeling window. I never groom hair in an action, pose or chor, unless I want to animate the hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*A:M User* Shelton Posted April 4, 2009 *A:M User* Share Posted April 4, 2009 Thanks Mark for the quick response. I will keep trying tonight. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bigboote Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 I never groom hair in an action, pose or chor, unless I want to animate the hair. What about grooming hair in a pose? I've had a little success with leaving the hair UNgroomed in the model...setting the 'type' to 'constraint' at ZERO%(and a pre-roll of about 2 sec) then, in a POSE- you go about your styling... and adjust the hairs constraint amount to about 50-60-70%... this gives you a SLIDER control between your hairstyle (neat and posed) and totally LOOSE...as in windblown...wet...or unkempt. EDIT: I'd suppose you could go about this the other way as well...where you 'style' the hair in the model...and then make a pose where you lower the hairs constraint to zero percent... I guess that would accomplish the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtpeak2 Posted April 5, 2009 Author Share Posted April 5, 2009 If I want multiple hairstyles for the character, I would use a percentage pose, I consider this as animating the hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
