Hi Texture guru's .

I am having my first real go at texturing a model I created , all my previouse attempts failed due to lack of patience .

Here is my progress , I changed a couple of things last night so this is not the most recent update , but you'll get some idea where I'm headed with it .

Now to my dilema , I have been trying to make / paint the skin texture for the arms , this sounds like a simple enough task , but I am having trouble finding images of hairy man arms , so my next course of action was to try to paint them my self .

BZZZZZZT ! no good , even on the smallest brush setting I couldn't convincingly fake the hairs on the texture , they always looked "drawn" on .

Can any one offer me any pointers toward a good resource of hairy man arms , or suggest a good way to paint the texture myself .

Thanks every one .

Ben .

I guess grabbing a digital still camera and asking your harry armed friends or relatives is out of the question?

I once scanned some steel wool for use as a hair clog and it looked pretty good.. you pulled it out so the fibers were seperated more it would probably work well as a hairy arm texture.

Hi Gmask ,

Unfortunately I have no digital camera , I'll keep scouting the web for images for now I guess .

Cheers , Ben .
