aeliaI have come to the (completely non-unique and frankly late to the party) belief that Nouk's hair meshes are only great if one desires nothing but a simple re-texture. Anything more complex than that, and everything goes to shit really quickly.
I realise that many people came to this conclusion months ago, but let me whinge :P
(Please ignore the shameless thievery of Nymphy's textures and alphas once again; Nymphy, if I bother you with said shameless thievery, do kick me up the arse!)
This is the result of many hours of fiddling, and the uv mapping is enraging me. I still need to fix the wonky shape of it from the front view, and kill that accursed ridge on the side but other then that, it's not looking too bad?
And because I am a glutton for punishment, I've been going through and downloading a few more of her meshes to add normal shaped skulls too for the purpose of shaved alphas - the emo hair and the rockabilly hair are top on my list - I really want to make this hair
Now if you will excuse me, I need lunch before I go to work

What are you trying to do with this hair?

This one, just straightening up the floppy mohawk
(that is an adorable icon too :D)

Date: 2010-07-15 06:05 am (UTC)Would it enrage you any more if I suggested making the two halves of the mohawk closer together? I remember that when I was editing them, I really wanted to make it short, but can't edit the alpha because it shows the hole in the middle. Sad panda!
