Thanks quadraxas, this is quite detailed! I just had a look through and it seems more than worth trying. However, two problems:
1) I don't have maya
2) I don't have photoshop

... so I can't follow either of the "hair bitmap creation" tutorials. I'm used to work with PaintShop Pro, maybe I can find some tutorials for that there.

And what also concerns me is the poly count. 800 triangles only for hairstyle - of course it looks awesome but can the A7 handle it? I'm just thinking of the worst case scenario: working on a model for hours and hours and then A7 either messing it up due to shader problems or breaking down to 10 fps... xD I don't know a single project which uses really high-poly characters like the one in the tutorial, so I was just thinking that A7 might not be able to render it in proper time to keep the fps count up.


Thanks,


Alan
