Braid script request

<< < (2/2)

headwax:
hey Lynn, nice to see   such a good model. Have you tried transmapping? That's what most people do I think. Less vertexes for rendering. But there is the shadow  thing I guess. Anim8or shadows the whole object ratther then the transmapping from memory.

Have you seen http://www.stevenabbott.co.uk/Knots/knots.html.

This will generate 3d knots in obj format, worth a play. Might not give you braids but a lot of fun for designs etc

cheers from oz

lynn22:
Thank you headwax.

I know about Knots, played around with it even before asking but with no good result for braids, though a good program in its own right.
ADSohr's modeling solution is the best. The mesh can be resized and shaped using Modifier as needed so the braids will look real  :)

Anim8or does indeed create shadows of the invisible parts of a transmap but even rendering in other software which ignores the transparent bits is not so good because there is no "volume". I have finally settled for modeled strands for the front part and a good hair texture and bumpmap for the flat parts leading to the braids. I think this will do the trick.

Anyone interested in "the making of..." A native American just follow this link.

kreator:
perhaps this might interest you lynn

lynn22:
Thank you kreator, it's a lovely model and I can picture it perfectly on a young, blond girl like you see in German fairy tales. Not aiming to be picky, it's just "too soft" for an indian.

Will come in handy though the day I decide to make Hansel and Gretel :)

lynn22:
I just finished this project.
If you want to see the final result just follow the link mentioned three posts above this one ;)

Thanks for looking
