Hello Everyone,

I'm having trouble texturing eyebrows.
I want to paint them right into head texture file.
I tried cropping eyebrows from a picture file but that doesnt seem to look right... Am I doing something wrong.. is there another way of doing it?

Is there a way to select just the dark part of the eyebrows in the image that im cropping and delete out the skin from that image so that when I add it to my face texture it looks right... erm,,,, I hope that makes sense..

also,

what about eye lashes? I tried making a poly surface with a texture map and a transparency but im having a lot of trouble getting that to look right.. does anyone know of a good way to do it or maybe an awesome tutorial?

any help would be amazing.
thanks

very nice info there eric.

For texturing eyebrow, I don't seem to have any problem when cropping out from an image. Do you have any example of your work to show. It will be a better start from there.

What do you guys think about this?
I made each lash have depth.. should I have made them a flat plane instead.
It didnt really come out as I wanted...
