[Feather] Nouk Afro Hairband Retextured



This was one of my favourite hairs back in the old days. A few months ago I tried to [personal profile] pooklet it and failed as the textures did not take too kindly to the actions. When [personal profile] nymphy released her gorgeous curly textures I decided to muck around with this hair once again and see if I could retexture it to make it work better with Pooklet's actions.



I'm not sure if this is a particuarly good retexture as this is my first attempt at blending two different textures together (Nymphy's curls and Nouk's original). Though I'm fairly happy with it and think that Nymphy's textures make it look softer and more natural.



But, damn, this hair nearly killed me. There are just so many texture files and that makes it really tedious to copy/paste and button click. So, the catch is that I've only done four colours: dynamite, depth charge, volatile and explosive. I'm really sorry about that but I just don't have the time to do all of the colours.



If anyone is brave enough to do the other colours of the spectrum (whether for private or public use) then feel free to do so. I can also upload the bmps of the textures for volatile to make it easier. If anyone is interested then just ask.



The elder age is grey (mailbomb) and linked to the brown (depth charge).

I think this looks absolutely brilliant, and probably my favourite use yet of Nymphy's curls! And I'm more than happy with just the four colours - thank you. :D

I would never have thought of using my textures on that mesh. You are right, the blend looks great :D *downloading*

Great job. I've been thinking in add this hair to my afro sims but I didn't liked much the original textures. Now I added. Great textures, I love what you did.
