My texture is missing in some places on cc hair mesh[SOLVED]

It almost looks like parts of the mesh goes into the head. Are you sure that's not part of the problem?

The UVmap doesn't overlay very well with some parts of the map. One of the UV stripes for the braids has a non-textured stripe down the entire side, and some of the UVs are outside the textured area. The beads also seem to have some weird stuff going on with the texture (not sure if they're supposed to have bright parts?)

It can be easier to see if you overlay the UVs on the texture in an image editing program. Having the UVs on top can often be of more help, since you can more easily see where the texture is supposed to go.

It also looks like you need a scalp texture. Here's an example.



You can easily view how the textures looks in Blender and you can edit the UV islands and see how the texture looks in real time. First, enable sync in the UV editor and make sure you're in face select mode. Now you can see your UV islands without having to select your mesh.

Make sure you're in material viewport shading.

Here are instructions for Blender 3.3:



In Blender 2.7x, remove whatever texture is in the UV editor, press A to select all islands, then Image > Open Image and navigate to your texture and open it.
Press N to open the side tab and under shading change it to "multitexture." Make sure you're in texture viewport shading. Now, you should be able to see your texture on your mesh and you can see how it changes if you move or resize your islands. Ignore the left side of this screenshot.



Yes, I'm planning to do the scalp once i've sorted out the braids themselves. Thank you for the screenshots, this is so helpful
