How to change hair colours (ie. yes you can!)

[markofkane]

Yeah, I knew it was Stephen. I wasn't sure if anyone here saw the movie.

It started with a meteor, and he touched it, or something. Then he was all itchy, and decided to get into the bathtub full of water.

BAD mistake. He luckily was able to kill himself with a rifle or shotgun.

Good grief, I didn't think of the dangers.
I went out to tell Lorraine but it was too late.
It was raining and she was all wet.

Personally I think this is an improvement.
I hope you also like it.
I named this one Lorraine10.
Download and enjoy.

Markofkane, yeah great film...ive just sold the original comic book on ebay as it happens lol.

Duskrider, is that a new wig on Lorainne?

[Duskrider]

Hair not by me.

Lorraine was wearing

Freddy,
I went over to Blender.Org yesterday and went through the gallery pictures of past couple years.  Impressive.  
You may be interested to know the grass for Lorraines outfit came from Blender.

thanks.

Hmm, Blender is really becoming a class act, I was playing around with it a bit a while back and found it was really nice to use, and I managed to get some animations going without too much trouble.  I had  a space ship flying down a canyon being chased by a cop spaceship.  I was prety chuffed with myself.

Some of the things people produce on it are breathtaking, I'll take a look again, thanks for the tip.

By the way, I haven't had much progress on the hair front, but I have managed to change the witch_hair htr and still retain the fine details.  If anyone wants the low-down let me know.

Can you make wigs and export them using People putty?

I seem to be obssessed with wigs at the moment!!

[Dr.Benway]

No, Roger, you can't do that with People Putty. We're stuck with the few wigs that already exist. Therefore I am very interested to see if we can create new hair.

Roger,

yeah the details would be greatly appreciated thanks as no matter what I do its still blocky on mine

[Duskrider]

This topic is a prime example of our think-tank in action.
I am proud to be a small part.

[freddy888]

i agree, this is a fine think-tank.

Blender has been mentioned a couple of times in a few places now, with this is mind I think i saw that one of the tools that Haptek supplies can take 3D objects and convert them to Haptar/Htr objects.

Soo, in theory you could make something using blender and get it into the Haptek engine.

I've downloaded the new version of Blender, so I'm looking forward to another weekend of 3D mayhem and sore eyes!

I'm going to find out the prices on these haptek tools.  Will let you know.

[Dr.Benway]

Roger, I wonder if you already took notice of some of the prices that have been mentioned on this forum:

Accessory Converter: $100.00
HapTargh (the compressing program for making .htr & .jhp): $200
Haptek Audio factory: $40


To All,

To make a proper hair texture you might examine the hair model by setting the rendering of the Haptek engine to "line mode".

 

For this you can use the following .hap-file on an arbitrary Haptek-model:

The beautiful girl in Haptek's Fancy demo has her own texture files that are in .tif-format. The used engine is OpenGL, while our Haptek engine is DirectX. The girl's texture files haven't been encoded. The file with the texture for her hair looks like this:

I meant to say thanks for this the other day, so thanks!

I didn't have this, it's great you put it up because it gives us an idea of the kind of hair detail needed.  I won't go on about it here as I posted my wig changes on the other pages, along with some help on textures.

Does anyone have a mind-numbingly fast graphics card, because I'm wondering if some of my rendering probs might be due to my older graphics card?

The new wig textures have been posted in the file sharing area, any comments or troubles then please let me know.
