I'm having mane texture issues ;_;

I've tried different codes for it and it still doesn't work...

Anyone got an idea how to fix it?

Here is what I see :



Code I used :

material preset_4_maneMat
{
        technique
        {
                pass
                {
                       cull_hardware none
                       cull_software none
                       alpha_rejection greater_equal 128
                       texture_unit
                       {
                                texture AngelMane.png
                }
          }
     }
}

and also this one :

material preset_8_maneMat
{
   transparency_casts_shadows off
   receive_shadows off
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         cull_hardware none
         cull_software none
         alpha_rejection greater_equal 128
         texture_unit
         {
            texture Hackersmane.png
         texture_unit
         }
      }
   }
}

Are you saying that the colors are off? Or are you saying you want a specific mane texture?

A little more info of what kind of preset you are wanting to make please. I see that its a texture mane, but is it suppose to be moving?
But if you are talking about those sharp areas in the hair that looks like rectangles then that's how its suppose to be I think.
I Stalk from time to time...I have moved on to other things but do miss this place. Good times

This code seems to make preset manes more or less normal.

Code: [Select]
material preset_4_maneMat
{
        technique
        {
                pass
                {
                       cull_hardware none
                       cull_software none
                       alpha_rejection greater_equal 128
                       texture_unit
                       {
                                texture preset_4mane.png
                }
          }
     }
}

I can see that half your code it already like this, but I'm not certain what the top coding is meant to do o.0

I already made this preset, this is just an image I kept of the issue I had, and had it resolved once, and it stopped working on the other presets I made, no it is not moving, and it is not a color issue, it is that it shows through the actual 3d hair part (idk what its called) and the edges of the texture are white-ish, its strange really...

Did you use GIMP for this?

May I see the mane you used? (A screenshot of the preset mane)

From the looks of the picture it looks like you have some spaces in your hair file that have been erased.
NOTE: there is a mane png in the spoiler, its just so darn black you cant see it :p
try this out and see if it works. It could just might as well be the hair file you are using

I will also suggest something else of what ninja said,


Maybe you need to erase the outer lines of the mane? Not using the erase button, but taking the color you want to use and tracing over the line. I don't know if that will work, but that is what I do when the lines show.

I've quite commonly found that, when I've had this happen with my manes on presets (the little white outlines) it's because I used the 'Fuzzy select tool' (this is what it is called in gimp, usually called the 'wand' tool on other programmes) to select the mane and then colour in, leaving white outlines. My solution is instead of using that to select it, instead just lock the alpha channel, or opacity or whatever it's called on your art programme and then colour in that way. Always has worked for me. Hope this helps. ^^
