Someone over on My Sims 3 Blog mentioned something about making a mohawk that wasn't falling over, and somehow that translated into me making the following set of hairs. Maybe it's just me, but there does seem to be a lack of 'non-mainstream' type clothing and hair for TS3...
At any rate, tonight I made 4.75 new hairs.
First up is an almost-straight conversion of the TS3 male mohawk for females. I really, really like the mesh for this, and simply fitted it to a female head and gave it a new texture (by the very-missed Liegen)..
Then, I thought 'Oh... it'd be nice to make this a bit shorter!' And so I did.
After that, I knew it had to be done for males as well.
Things started to get more involved after the straight conversion, and I took on creating a 'Chelsea' style for the girls. I hacked the hell out of a Raon mesh for this.

So what's the .75 hair all about? Well... apparently WesH's plugins still occasionally want to mess with me.
I'm going to attempt to recreate this entirely from scratch again tomorrow. It looks really good in milkshape.
And now for something completely different...
I'm also working on some new jeans for the boys in a cuffed style.
There's some baaaaaad uv mapping happening at the waist, but otherwise, I'm quite pleased with how these have turned out.

(Dragon Age eating my brain. Sleep is overrated.)

DA Jacob sounds rather scary. But in a fun way.
Falling over now.

A bunch of sappy adulation :-)

Date: 2010-01-07 08:42 pm (UTC)Yeah, there really aren't a whole lot of people making CC for this game yet, and those that do seem to have more of an 'every day' or even 'runway' style to them. It is a bit more involved to make CC for this game as compared to TS2, but it's not so complicated that it's not fun anymore. Just keep working at it, and I'm sure you'll be able to make stuff, too! We definitely need more people creating different styles. :D

Date: 2010-01-07 11:36 pm (UTC)the issue with the chelsea looks like a mapping rather than a mesh issue, doesn't it? i took a look at that mesh yesterday, thinking of making a mini mohawk for kids/toddlers... i'm no expert, but if you'd like anyone to look at it or test, i'd be happy to. :)

Date: 2010-01-08 07:37 pm (UTC)And yeah, it's definitely a uv mapping issue on the non-working style. Sometimes for some reason WesH's plugins don't export the uv map correctly, though I haven't come across the problem in quite a while until now. (In fact, I thought the problem had been fixed with a plugin update.) At any rate, I'm just going to try redoing the mesh and hope for the best.
A mini-mohawk would be so cute!! You should seriously make one.

Date: 2010-01-23 04:09 am (UTC)I actually haven't had a chance to work on that last hair much this week, but I should have another stab at it eventually. :D

Date: 2010-08-04 06:58 pm (UTC)The Chelsea hair looks great in game, thank you so much! Did you ever release the regular conversion of that hair?
no subject
Date: 2010-08-06 08:31 pm (UTC)Nah, I didn't release the regular conversion, but I think someone else might have. You could check for it on this website.

It is so hard to find!
