Ooh I thought of something else.
I'd like to see the UV map for the eyelashes be totally different that it's always been done.
Don't embed them in a small curved area of some larger UV map. Give them a dedicated UV mapping, V from 0 (touch eye) to 1 (tip), straight across. Make the left half of U cover one eyelash, the right half the other eyelash.
Also, add additional polygons for eyebrows. Make two or three layers, also with a private UV map.
I'm saying all this because I can easily make hair fibers procedurally if I can get away with lining them up in the V direction. With multiple layers of eyebrow polygons, I can make them stand off from the head, and overlap and cross each other in 3D like real ones.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
