Mane for Preset Has Boxes

[Shazadah]

Yeah the mane is just weird that way :/, those box looking shapes always appear flat unlike the rest of the mane, but I think they are there just to give it a fur-like appearance, but nothing too important.

Glad we could help you tho .

EDIT:

actually, there STILL is a problem. lines.

they are around the edges of the mane. i'd guess this is just awfully cut-out lines, but that doesn't seem to be the problem

That I believe would be due to the codes. The mane fix codes used give a sharp edge to something even when it's been softened or blurred. Allow me a minute or two to go dig up some codes that would work the same but give a soft edge look...

EDIT 2:
My bad, it would appear that the codes that soften edges only work for markings that appear to glow or scroll (they work best when they are against another texture), so it seems the mane fix codes are your best shot. Looking thru my presets again, I don't get strange lines on the manes when using the mane fix codes, not exactly sure why you would be, other than my only guess being that it still has something to do with the mane's image. I even tried the codes Likuu offered, they gave soft edges but they also defeat the purpose of the mane fix code and I'm assuming that's not what you want? A friend of mine did at one time find a way around this, and I think that was by blurring the edges on his mane's image, but I'm pretty sure he's lost the codes to that and I don't think he used the mane fix codes so you'll have to experiment with that. Or just erase the pointed parts of the mane altogether and be rid of them, the mane would look smooth afterwards and maybe a little weird but at least it takes away the problem right? If that's what you would like to do, I have the UV guide lines for the mane and can help coordinate what parts to erase.

Glad that we could solve one of the issues! As said above by Naru, a simple change of coding may due the trick.

It could also be the texture itself, as Naru has also mentioned. (I'm such a huge help, aren't I?) Certain colors might make that odd appearance y'er getting with y'er preset. I've had no troubles with the mane spikes b'fore, but I also use darker colors f'er the most part. Also, be sure that ye erased along the lines of the original mane texture. If ye cut not 'nuff off, the spikes may look differently than they should. If the spikes are erased in different spots, that could also cause some problems.
