thanks for the metal comments :D. and thanks woogity, I will try to keep him pretty minimal

I will just retopo it. maybe group the loose dreads a little more, but i just have to make a blanket mesh over the majority of the head. Then I will just retopo the back hair, and i can definitely drop some strands there. there are already countless strands hidden in that knot. I think i'd rather detail them as they are though, to keep the projection a bit more realistic.

i've never projected something so complicated on to a single mesh though, so i should probably do some test runs first

about those dread i would make 1 straight uvw it etc, then place it in the same way, or reuse geo from the ones in the head, then for ao i just use ao from the low with the dreads , that way you spare uvw space and it has teh same effect ^^

[ralusek]

johny i'm not sure i fully understood what you were saying. to clarify what i was going to try, i was just gonna retopo a single mesh across the top of the hair, project detail, and normal map it. i already tried it and it seemed to work fine. you're saying to AO bake the low poly of the original dreads? si es mas facil clarificar en espanol, puedo entender

[ralusek]

sorry for delay, have way too many side projects at once.
