Hair material? About Truespace Archives These pages are a copy of the official truespace forums prior to their removal somewhere around 2011. They are retained here for archive purposes only. Hair material? // Roundtable 1  |   Order by default Post by mykyl1966 // May 17, 2007, 10:26am mykyl1966 Total Posts: 221 I think the new hair tools in Truespace are very good but one thing lets it down. The two color gradient for the material. Has anyone found a way to get a better material on the hair? Or failing that some good info on the LE so I can start digging in myself. Its such a shame to have neat hair but materials that let it down. Having fun otherwise.

The trees in the Plant library are 'hair'. By default the hair uses 32 segments (repeats) of the two-color hair gradient. Go to the advanced panel for the hair and set the number of segments to 1 (at least it's easier for me to see what I'm doing when I set it to 1). Then use the eyedropper tool on the hair to enter the material editor. I've used the Re-Paint icon from the ME to apply different materials to hair so that it doesn't change the material of the base object the hair is applied to.
