Hair recolor help
 

I'd like to recolor some custom hair, but the creator doesn't want their hair texture recolored.

I was wondering which Maxis hair supplies a good amount of hair to cut and paste onto the creator's texture (only used for hair direction).

Anyone got favorites?

Hmm... it might help to provide an idea of what hair style you're thinking of.

Here's the one I want to work on first. Kind of looks like I just need lots of straight hair to paste together at different angles.

Ack! I can see why you want to recolor it!

If you want to create a straight pattern to overlay on hair, try creating a block of random noise and then apply the motion blur filter to it.

Then duplicate the layer and spin it around for the other directions... That could work...

Sooo many Asian sites just can't get red hair right; it's either pink, magenta, or burgundy.

Well, here's my first attempt:

Chriko's original for comparison:

Opinions? Images are clickable for more detail.

I used the Maxis bun with chopsticks for the base and the permed hair for the rest. Not a bit of Chriko's texture anywhere. I might try making the side dangley bit "superpermed" to see if I can get some curl to it.

That shows great promise. I like the permed look to the updo. The color is much improved as well. :)

Thanks! Now that I have the adult hair done, hopefully, it's just save off the file multiple times to finish it up.
