More Hair Problems

[Brian Jones]

without seeing the actual file no but have you tried putting the same map in the color channel of a material (with the same mapping) to see if you are getting the placement of the map as you are expecting?

Hi,

I have tried that yeah and it’s all in the right place (I made the map in Body paint).
It’s literally just 2 spots, symmetrically on either side of the head. It does it with the map on and off, so I don’t think that’s the problem.
It seems that the hair just won’t generate on that patch.

Here’s a couple of screen shots if that helps you understand what I mean..

outboard the eyes? It looks like hair that is there but is growing into the character because the normals of the model are reversed (pointing inwards)…

[Nick Smith]

Outboard the eyes??

The normals was the first thing I checked, they’re all the right way round. I’ve even tried aligning them and reversing them back and forth and it’s still changed nothing.

I’d have to see the file

I’ve managed to sort of fix it.
The character was in a hypernurb, so the hair was only generating on the original mesh.
I’ve used a fur object instead of a hair and it is bending with the hypernurb. Not sure if this is a bug with hair or what but fur has worked out better anyway.
Thanks for your help though =]
