Preset Mane Issues

[Ningyo]

So basically, the thing where the mane doesn't look like anything more than a bunch of thin sheets, yeah that. I know it's a coding thing, and I've searched around the forums a bit and tried a few codes, and it still doesn't seem to be working. I'm not using the Floofy first mane, I'm using the Center Half one on a feline. Really all I need is for some people to link or share some codes that I could try to get this thing working ;w; <3

Can you take a screenshot of it so we can see what's going on please?

The first thing you need to do is open up 'fmaneMask' in GIMP or Photoshop. (I use GIMP, it's easier) Once you have done that you need to make sure it's on a transparent background, you can tell it's a transparent back ground because it will have grey squares. After that, get the select tool and select the whole canvas like this:



Then you need to right click the mane and go to 'Select then 'Float' and it should select it all. Then you can draw what you're wanting your mane to look like on the mask and it won't go over the transparency. Finally, you need to save the image as a .PNG image and name it preset_(presetmumberhere)head.png and Merge the layers if it asks you to. Don't flatten.

heres the easier way.open up the textures menu feralheart->media->textures and scroll fown and you will see the three manes on the pic.copy them into your preset folder and rename them and decorate them whatever you wanted. Hope this workes. :-)

Of course, hun! The coding can be found here, along with what BigBang said you should have a fixed mane c: If not, I'll be happy to share my base preset files with you!

I've tried out all of this, made sure the mane texture was transparent, replaced the code and it's still doing it. I remember having this problem before on my older computer, I checked that code and still. I love it if you could share the codes Ging love ;w;.

I don't plan on using the mane, but it shows off best what it's doing.

Tell me what preset number you're doing hun, I'll be happy to give you the code and templates. Your preset looks gorgeous, too!

And the image file for mane: (.PNG, use another layer on multiply to colour it best, also it is huge so it may take a moment to load)
