Drawing hair shaved

Post by Doc986 »

My character's hair is shaved (100 black dots on the head)
But 100 dots are "heavy" for renderendig and for export the animation.
How can I get the same result without drawing 100 points?

I think we had this problem already in the forum, but couldn't find any post.

2 possible solutions:
1. Create a texture in a bitmap app with all the points, and apply it to your character with a mask.
2. For long shots just use a blue-gray solid fill.
