So when I am using cycles in blender, every time I use an image texture for this model's hair, it turns out like this. He is supposed to be completely blonde and no matter what I add or manipulate in the nodes, it doesn't change so there is always this black in his hair.

Is there something I should be doing in particular or is it something else? Because it works for majority of the other models except a few that do the same thing, particularly the blonde ones or one's that have wavy hair.

These are the textures used for this model's hair

Thanks :) Btw I'm new to this site so sorry if I do something wrong! :/

I tried to duplicate the question "How can I setup a Material in Cycles for Z-Transparency?" and this is what I got. It's still not right. enter image description here

  • $\begingroup$ Could you include a screenshot of your material's node setup? $\endgroup$ – user7952 May 28 '15 at 13:40
  • $\begingroup$ The node setup for the image above is just simply the first image (hair _faded_straight blonde hair) and the displacement third image(hair_faded_straight grey coloured) and that's it. I've only recently started using cycles so I don't know how to use them properly yet. I don't have a file atm of my node "attempts" because I gave up, so I can't screenshot it but I pretty much tried everything available and it did nothing. $\endgroup$ – user14621 May 28 '15 at 13:49
  • $\begingroup$ Where did you input the second file? The blueish one. $\endgroup$ – user7952 May 28 '15 at 13:57
  • $\begingroup$ I've never used that one before. I've never known what it was for. I thought it was maybe volume but when I inputted it, it just made his hair blue like in the image and/or didn't make a difference to the black in his hair. I noticed it made his hair messier or scruffier looking but that's it. $\endgroup$ – user14621 May 28 '15 at 14:07
  • $\begingroup$ It's a normal map. Its RGB data maps to the X Y and Z values of the direction of the normals. Try connecting it to the Normal input of the shader(s). $\endgroup$ – user7952 May 28 '15 at 14:11
