I'm pretty sure I've mentioned bunches of times over the years that I don't really do requests. Still, once in a while someone will ask so damn nice for something that's pretty easy that I figure it's ok to do them once in a while.
Anyway, just a couple of random items...
The first is my 'Secret' shoes for males. They have the exact same textures and presets as the female version, only they've been scaled for male feet. These have all the morphs and LODs, and... I have to admit I'm really surprised by how good they work. In fact, I'm sorta really tempted to make the heel a bit bigger and release them as a pair of 70s platform shoes.
Pretty much the same as the female version.

Next up is a variation on that weird 'mohawk' for females from the base game. It's sort of funny, because I agreed to do this while I was on vacation, then of course I got horribly sick for two weeks, so I pretty much forgot that I'd agreed to do it. Then, on the way to the store about a week ago I thought to myself 'Oh man... if I stick my hair straight up, it looks just like that one hair from the base game. Only difference is my hair isn't shaved quite so close as that one. I should go in and add the buzz cut scalp... wait. Someone already asked me to do that..."
Anyway...
I'd like to say that 'all I did' was add on a scalp and face texture to take it from 'I shaved my head with a razor!' to 'I used a pair of clippers without a guard!', but I got a bit more involoved than that. Not much, but enough that something that should have taken me 2 minutes to do ended up taking me 2 days.
I brought the hairline down in front to give some slight ease to the 'five-head' issue the original hair has (not that I'm against five-heads, since I seriously have a huge forehead in the really real world), and did some slight blending and editing of EA's shaved head textures. I also replaced EA's textures with my own, including the diffuse, control, and specular. Because of personal choice and the original requestee, these have a shine control rather than EA's highlight control. I... just... do not like EA's highlight control. (Why oh WHY don't their halos work in the game as wonderfully as they do in CAS??)
New textures in-game with a natural preset EA color.

Do whatever you want with these as long as you're not claiming you made them or putting them on paysites of any kind.

Date: 2011-10-06 04:32 am (UTC)I've been fighting and fighting with myself over what kind of textures I want hair to have in game. Good thing I haven't gotten very far on my file editing because I think I've decided I like yours for diffuse, etc... Do you mind me asking what method you use for the control? Is it something that you start off with as a base and sort of copy-paste into the channels or do you draw each one individually per hair? I am rather curious as to the general technique, but forgive me if I overstep my bounds.
Also, while I'm here, I did have something I wanted to inquire about. Ages ago I remember you posting about a version 2.0 of your skin set...was that ever completed, or has it been shelved? I remember something about it being desaturated to be paler or something and was quite looking forward to it.
I'll stop here since I seem to be coming up with questions more than comments. Fantastic hair edit and I'm not one for feminine shoes for men usually as far as tastes go, but damn...those are some sexy heels. You're right about the 70's platforms thing. I can so see that. Stuff downloaded is going in my game NAO!
