How to make hair and skin textures
How on earth do you make proper hair and skin textures for your models. I have just played with it for hours now, and cant seem to come up with any good results.
(dont mind the model, it is an old head, that i'm using for this practice).
So if you have some tips, please let the rest of us know...

But large factors for realism is realistic lighting, layered sub-surface light scattering, etc.

Thanks for the direction.... ;-)
Also thanks to you Mike. I will play with some photo reference as well. I see that the paint fx wont do on poly meshes. And due to the fact, that one cannot convert to sub-d if the poly count is over 1000, paint fx is not always an opportunity ??? Correct me if i am wrong... ?

I bet that this kind of placement of nurbs planes takes a lot of time. But youre right. It looks like its worth it.
