There are two drop-down list and four channels to
determine the shape and normal of the eyebrows. The
textures in this section can be edited if you have
purchased and installed the SkinGen Plugin.
- Right Pattern Type: Pattern of the right eyebrow can be generated by means of mirroring the left one, by default (Mirror Left). If you choose the item from the drop-down list, then you can load a custom eyebrow pattern image.
The eyebrow on the right is the same but mirrored from the Left Pattern texture.
If you want to create a custom right eyebrow, set the Right Pattern Type drop-down list to Custom Right and load the custom texture to the Right Range channel.
The eyebrows can be individually different. - Normal Type: You can use this drop-down list to determine the Normal effects of the eyebrows.
If you choose the Custom from the list, then the eyebrow normals are determined by the texture in the Right Normal and Left Normal channels.
