MHX import and Cycles

[g1nsu]

This is a really helpful post. Thanks all.

I have found a decent solution to the hair issue that started this thread. I used the technique described in the following video. (I did not make the video.)

It is similar to the node set-up being used here. Essentially, you have to create a black and white version of the hair texture. Plug that into the transparent shader. Then use an add shader instead of a mix shader.

[N.O.A.]

Thanks for the response.

The darker area over the eye brows is the rest of the texture map. Something having to do with transparency, but I'm still new to using that in Cycles. The eyes is something I'm still not sure about.

I have a proxy mesh as well. It's the ScottKMesh. The eyes work fine there.

Oh, what is that Texture_ref.tif for? It's the one that looks just like the skin map, but it's all grey. Is that an alpha map or something?

I'll do an obj export to compare and see what happens.

Hm I've selected the hair and there's only one texture group called "[MyName]long". I've erased that material and put a new one there and it does the same thing.



The rest of the character is black here but that's not a problem. Notice how the hair is textured on the sides, but not on the front. There's only one material there and that's a brand new one I've created.

Where is "solids" at? Maybe I'll just use a different hair. I don't have a problem re-exporting the character.

hello there, I kinda made the hair textures work in cycles
this is what I did:
