Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Transparency on nurbs hair plane :)

ello ,

I am trying to create some hair using nurbs planes with transparency maps to help the effect . it looks ok but the transparency maps aren't working properly - as you can see in the following shot you can see ghost like bits where it is supposed to be totally transparent.

any ideas?

if you're using specular, you'll also need a specular map so that it's only specular where the hair is, similar to the thransparancy map.

Also, for accurate shadows, you'll need to use raytracing.
