A:M 10.x hair?

#21

I’ve found it’s best to use a grayscale image.

Many thanks for your reply! I’ll give it a go!

Do NOT use an alpha channel!!

:blush: Ooops! That really will make a difference as I think all my targas had alpha channels!
Wonderful information!

So, just curious…how DOES AM’s new hair compare to Sasquatch?

In regards to quality, Sasquatch has AM’s hair beat hands down - of course, you have to remember that Sasquatch - the plugin - costs almost $200 more than AM.

Having said that, the new hair is a pretty dramatic improvement over what used to be in AM, and is gradually getting better. You can get some nice results out of it with some tweaking - we used it extensively in our commercials for “Tak and the Power of Juju” - including making feathers for the chickens in one of the spots. If they can get the dynamics problems figured out, I’d say it’s going to be about 70% of Sasquatch… for a lot less money…

is there an image type that works best for length? I mean grey-scale, b/w or colour? I’m trying to have hair appear in different parts of a patch but still struggling.

Maybe I should put it this way - I want to go from 0 length to full percentage. Is there a map-type that will do this? [/B]

Ahhh - Jim is too fast - beat me to it… but he gives you sage advice… :slight_smile:
