G3-F Brows

dash2128

I wish to change the color of a G3-Fs brows.  Brow Remover will remove the old brows, but when I replace them Skin Builder...well, they appear at first- in the color i wish them to be, ...but when I close Skin-Builder, they disappear.  Is there some way to change these brows to the color I wish?

Brow Remover hides the brow area of the textures with a non-brow area, that will happen to the modified version from Skin Builder just as it does to the base maps.

Oh?  Is there any way to replace those brows, or recolor them, then?  ...without removing them?

You could use a Geometry Shell or other overlay with just the eyebrow texture, using one that has suitable maps or using an image editor to separate them out (or make your own) with a transparency map

Oh?  'a Geometry Shell or other overlay with just the eyebrow texture'?   Any instruction  about that? should I try to look that up in the forum?

(Thank you for replying!)

Do you have a suitabl;e set of eyebrows designed to layer on top of a browless texture? If so you probably have all you need - add a Geometry Shell from the Create menu, zero (or at least rduce) its offset, use the settings in Parameters to hide all the groups and surfaces except the face, then apply the base colour and opacity maps for the brows to the face surface (Surfaces pane) and tweak the other surfaces as desired.
