Re: [SOLVED] How does one fake lighting hair strands on a surface?
What you're asking for is a specular map. First make one good Alpha map for masking the hair. Then figure out your materials as solid colors and mask them off with the same alpha. Here's a few tips for you: Straighten your UV shells so they're mostly going along one axis. The way you have them at a 45° angle creates choppy… -
