A first test render with the hairy bundle. 

thanks Cath

Had to post this here as this is my first render using the beard - and I just love it already (the beard that is)

very cool usage of the beard, well done !

thanks for sharing

I must have gotten unsubscribed and never got any more ebots for this thread.

It’s a bit late now but I just exported the obj without any morphs and opened it in UV Mapper.

I have a question
the template you made was from
the original UV’s ? or you created new UV’s ?
as it seems like the beard hair have new UV’s for all the stubble and not one map for individual hair , just curious
as that was what I was thinking to make as the original was different .

If you change the beard colour by changing the diffuse colour you get an evenly coloured beard which I find quite unnatural looking. For example, how would you get a ‘salt/pepper’ effect?

I made a salt and pepper map and uploaded it to ShareCG, you can download it here;

You can see how it looks below, along with some other maps I made.

I also made a quick uv map so that you can see where the mustache, sideburns, etc are. If you want just a gray mustache, sideburns, streaks or whatever, this will make it a lot easier to create. You can download it here;

My question was how many UV’s sets are there if you looks into the surface , are there 2 or just one to choice from , I ask as the original I made can be used to make different rots middle and tip or make the hair tick or tin or kink for more natural look , and the one you show was just to paint zones , I wonder that’s all

thanks

Hi Mec4D

I just looked for you and in the UV’s selection you have Facial Hair UV and one called FlatUV.

Sal.

Ok then both are there so you can make 2 different style mapping , one for the zones and one for the tones like poser hair shader for example where u can use normal or displacement to change the texture of the hairs , when I am little more free from my projects I will do some cool material presets with different mapping

Thanks Sal ,

There was just the one UV set. I was looking for something to help paint zones, luckily for me the UV’s were what I was looking for. I really don’t know much about creating or altering UV’s.

Also thanks for your summer sale I just got “Neanderthal - Genesis” from your site..

Naturall the hair have different rots and tips color , also with the flatUV you can make 2 colors or 3 colors for the total effect or even use the hair as cr2 in Poser and the native hair shader, with the uv’s zones the way is only to paint the zone , it is cool if you do variations of grey hair   zones or even use color noise but it will be flat scratched color over the hair without any texture or other effect for each individual hair, the other one use 1 template for all hair if you are going to make 4 color shades for nice mixing or any other effect so both are very much usable .
