@mlindborg Just bought the Character Customizer and like it a lot, thanks for putting it on the Marketplace!

Can you answer a question about hair shadow textures applied to the character’s skin material? (apologies if its already been answered) Did you paint the hair shadow textures in Substance or another program or is there a way to generate them? They seem to add a lot so I think I would want to do the same thing for any custom hair meshes I make.

I make them manually in Photoshop. You can use the existing maps to figure out the UV configuration. I don’t think there’s an automatic way of doing it barring baking the AO from a high poly xgen mesh or something.

The red channel is tinted by the hair color, so it should cover the hair root. The blue channel is an unsaturated shadow and is for the edges where you have clumps of hair occluding the skin basically.
