Fur doesn't work for long hair, only short to medium length. I'm told you can do it with "Paint effects", but i have no idea what they are, or how to use them. Just wanted to let you know before you try to do her hair with fur, it just won't work. Thats why its called "FUR" and not hair.

Great job btw, you're pretty good with SubDs.

Thanks for the comments and tips Snich and Vectorman! I'm having a real tough time with the texturing atm... will try to get some renders soon...

Does anyone know if you can slice up a SubD model into smaller chunks so I can texture it? trying to texture the whole model at once is really killing my computer... user added image

I need a paying art job! ;o)

I don't know about subD's but that can be done in polys.. have a look at my thread.. that is multiple UV sets and textures on that. The only one displayed at the time is just with one on the head. but it can be done.. but it will kill ram even faster.. are you textureing with a UV map or using artison ?
