Rieno: Hey
BamBamTheFurry: Hello :3
Rieno: nice fur
BamBamTheFurry: ty i made it
Rieno: Nice
Rieno: So a couple of things, what do you use to make your textures?
BamBamTheFurry: I use gimp and photoshop
Rieno: Alright cool, I'll load up photoshop then
Rieno: First thing you want to do is check set this http://prntscr.com/7djj9g
BamBamTheFurry: got that
Rieno: Next in photoshop you want to make a gradient with a black bottom similar to this http://prntscr.com/7djkda
Rieno: Width 512, height 256
BamBamTheFurry: do you use that with the neon mat.xrf?
Rieno: This is a completely different way of doing neon, it's done with texture animation within the editor
BamBamTheFurry: ohhh! okay thats why i couldnt figure it out then lol
Rieno: Pretty much lol
BamBamTheFurry: what next?
Rieno: Note the black bit on the bottom of the spectrum needs to be the height of the hair ends opacity mask
BamBamTheFurry: example?
Rieno: http://prntscr.com/7djof9
BamBamTheFurry: okay
Rieno: The next stage is deriving a hair mesh, going over to the debug tab, clicking on "Material" then "Add Key" key name "TextureMap7" then clicking on That Key you just made and clicking "Add Data" then typing "Index" in the first box, and "7" in the second so you end up with something like this http://prntscr.com/7djpzg
Rieno: Then going back over to meshes, selecting index 7 that you created in the debugger, on the drop down choose the top empty selection http://prntscr.com/7djrcj
Rieno: Then fill in the details like so http://prntscr.com/7djs2q, note you'll have to create an opacity map like mine to fit your spectrum
BamBamTheFurry: okay
Rieno: Next you want to make a hair map, an opacity map which will hold the hairs texture, like the one I showed you in the example earlier, that's up to you, note anything not white will be neon apart from the bottom if you did the spectrum mask correctly
RienoRieno : After that apply the map to your hair texture and check "Skin composite" like so http://prntscr.com/7djsy5
Rieno: Apply and save and you'll have something like this http://prntscr.com/7dju0u
Rieno: The rest is to just experiment with different texture masks to get different effects
BamBamTheFurry: okay :D
BamBamTheFurry: is that everything? I am working on it now seeing that i have to make my own om lol
Rieno: One last thing, here's the hair I just made to teach you https://www.dropbox.com/s/sj21l9oun94hd19/Tutorial.zip?dl=0 it's the project to just extract it to your documents/IMVU project folder and you can open it as well as get all my maps and textures from it
BamBamTheFurry: :D omg thank you so much ^.^
Rieno: you're welcome
