Yes in the last Steam announcement update there is a link to the documentation for the fur masks) and samples. Here is the accompanying documentation for the import process and for creating custom color masks (in a draft state):

And also this doc complements the above archive

You will probably only want to open and the pdf regarding the color masks though from the zip file , not the other two :).

thank you for the timely response!

I can't seem to get Facerig to load any of the tgas I make, but I don't want to reinstall my 700 gigs of steam games to a folder without spaces in the name so I guess I'll have to wait till it's ironed out a bit more. :(

You can also make a SECOND steam-library folder, next to your first, without the need to remove any of the programs, other then facerig to install it in the other place.

To do that go to your steam settings, downloads, steam library folders and create a new folder.

Or, like you said, wait for an update.

Yes you don't have to move any the games when you create the second library :). Also look in the Community Content section, there someone there who has built an actual custom prop for Fluffo :).

I did not know you could do that! I am trying making a new steam library now and I'll see how it goes :D

I tried installing it into a string of folders with no spaces in the names and I still had an issue where it doesn't even seem to try loading the .tga. It just goes to the folder and then doesn't attempt to load, and if I try to save anything like options it doesn't save them either.

Is the TGA placed in the PC Custom Data subfolder , or just the the PC subfolder ? if you give us the step by step of what you are trying to do we will try to replicate this tomorrow morning at our office on a debug build and we will see what happens ( local time right now is 23:11 so we can't do this right away :) )

I have my Facerig installed to C:\Users\Kash\Documents\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\FaceRig

and I have the tga placed in
C:\Users\Kash\Documents\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\FaceRig\Mod\VP\PC
and
C:\Users\Kash\Documents\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\FaceRig\Mod\VP\PC_CustomData

when I try to load from the tga from these folders nothing happens, not even an error

Well there probably is an error, but is most likely a silent one :). After you try and load it and it fails, exit facerig. then locate the vp.log file (or facerig.log file) found in the Bin subfolder (or immediately above the bin subfolder) and send it our way at our info mailbox at facerig.com.

Also I will move this Thread to Community Custom content section :) :)

what exactly is the email address? the facerig website seems to be down atm

info[AT]facerig[DOT]com replace the [AT]with @ and the [DOT] with . Writing it this way to avoid e-mail spambots :) site is down due to heavy traffic but mail server is okay.

alright I've sent it

Can you please also send me the textures you are trying to load? I can't figure out what the problem is from the log so it would help if I could reproduce the issue on my side.
Also, what avatar did you try to load the custom mask for and for which part of him (fur, face, clothing, etc).
In the text box next to the Load Texture.. button does it say Error: Could not load texture! or does it show \texturename ?
