I find myself in need of some no-eyebrows face textures (that’ll work on Genesis), and no easy way to check which products have an eyebrow-free option.  (Yes, it’s possible to GIMP the eyebrows out, but I’d rather not if I don’t have to.)  So, recommendations?

Here’s the list of what everybody’s come up with so far:

Huh . . . I was thinking paid, but I certainly have no objection to free!    Added to the list (right now, that is the list), thanks!

Last time I saw this come up was on the old forum (and I can’t find the topic now, sorry) — some PAs said they didn’t like to do these because they used their unique eyebrows as a checkpoint when they suspected a skin texture of being stolen from them, while other PAs had products that included no-eyebrow face textures available for sale.  I used to know what some of those were . . . . . . anyway, I’m hoping they’ll get mentioned here.

I did a quick search on items I have installed…and those are what I came up with.  All of the paid ones and most of the freebies I have installed have them painted on.

I’ve got more free ones, that aren’t installed, so it’s more time consuming to look at them.  I do have a decided lack of M4 ones.

And I think it would be more ‘subtle’ and harder to get rid of, if there was a freckle pattern, mole or even pore pattern in the brow line to use as an identifying mark…

Mine are all those, for use with LIE or conforming brows, but they’re also all fantasy characters (no “regular’ skin).  I’m waiting on Zbrush to start doing “real” character sets.

I need ‘regular’ skin for what I’m working on now, but later who knows?  And other people could easily have other needs.  Gimme links and I’ll add ‘em to the list!

Thanks guys, appreciate it!

Everybody, any more out there?  Links please?

If you have V5 the Bree texture that comes with her has a no brow texture.

I always use the ‘patch’ tool in Photoshop, it erases them quite nicely. Not a fan of the current available eyebrow fiber mesh, nor the eyebrows similar to skull caps. But I create my own eyebrows in vector (Adobe Illustrator) then make very accurate bump mats.

How do you match your patch on the displacement, SSS, and other effects maps that way?

Like I said in my first post, I’d rather not edit a texture if there’s a suitable eyebrow-free one already available (hence this list, to make finding one easier).  But when I do I load it into GIMP (I don’t have Photoshop), then duplicate the layer and add a transparency mask to it.  I paint out the eyebrows on the mask (with plenty of extra space for blurring later), then flip the lower layer left-right and move it down until I find a good space of forehead skin, and note exactly how many pixels I moved it.  Last, a little blur on the transparency mask to blend the two layers, and export to jpg (or png if that was the original format, but that’s rare).

I copy the transparency mask I made, then to do the rest of the effects maps to match I just paste it into the mask for its top layer, then flip the lower layer left-right and move it down the noted number of pixels.  Lather-rinse-repeat for each, and they’re all ready for whatever you want to add to ‘em.

I do exactly what most PA’s do. I re-use the Dif texture and turn it into the Spec and Bump. Most are simply just an edited Dif texture. SSS shouldn’t have the eyebrows on it.

I haven’t came across a displacement texture that has eyebrows on it.

Almost all my characters have had the existing eyebrows removed, and replaced with my own created ones.

When making the spec/bump the easy and fast approach is to only cut the dif of the removed eyebrows and paste it on the S and B and sharpening, Black+White and play with levels until it matches. Pretty simple to do.

But I DO agree that texture sets should come with a no eyebrows version.
