So it has been a long time coming. Here is the hair test (scull cap) I'm playing with before I put in the hair cards.  WIP, not a final in anyway. just the early test. 

Gannon

roughly what's the process you're using. Also what engine/ renderer are you planning to use.

skue352

Generate geo. and map uv's. 
Create hair using zbrush fiber mesh.
Map to geo, bake out textures for Marmoset tool bag.  
I'm hoping the finale work will go to UE4. there are still things to work out.

next layer.  So I think i have a way of doing this that is really fast. The results are fair. I still need to work out a few more things.  But this might be the way for me to do hair cards for the future.

Pass three

skue352

Lighten and add translucency. 

skue352

Adding Ao, adjusting masking, playing with translucency.

WE NEED HAIR 

skue352

Still so much to do but  getting better by the moment 

skue352

Emissive maps! 

skue352

Adjusted the projection and hair some more.

Don't forget your micro texture. and finally figured out how to fixed the emissive on the arms,  so it doesn't permeate through the rest of the skin.

Good progress so far.
One thing to do when your hair is all setup is to transfer your normals from the character head to your hair cards to get rid of the poly strip look:
Step 14 here talk about it:

OH crap I forgot all about that!  Thank you Mr. M.  good catch. I'll implement that after my day of job hunting.  Thanks for the advice!

The last 5% is 99% of the effort. 
So I've gotten the hair to look good 
Emissive Check. 
splash color Check. 
transparency Check.
SSS Check. 
just a few more things to finish.

For those of you wondering about the hair and the related geometry, this will give you a better idea.
