New Material for Standard MH Hair

Postby bogdan666 » Fri Aug 02, 2019 5:32 pm

I've created a new alternative texture for the male hair: Short02.
Now I would like to use it as a new additional material.
How to do it as there is no file for it in the data folder?
It's one of the standard hairstyles, so the files are somehow hidden.

The default assets (the one that download with the app) are in the data folder within the apps install folder not the one within My Documents\makehuman
you can see this with the Material Editor tab in Utilities so to two locations to look at.

Enjoy the Choice :)

You can put alternative materials in your user data folder, as long as they have the same directory name.

If you have a folder (makehuman installation)/data/hair/short02 (which you will have), and a material file "short02_alternative.mhmat", you can put it in (my documents)/makehuman/v1py3/data/hair/short02. Next time you start makehuman, you should be able to select that material for the short02 hair.
