Strangetown: Looking for a hair mesh recommendation

[strangetomato]

I've been searching for a male ponytail to use on Ripp, but I haven't been able to find something that is the right length and matches the Maxis colour and texture. I was hoping that someone who reads this might have a suggestion. Otherwise, I will keep hunting. If I can't find what I'm looking for, I'll just have to drop the idea, or settle for an unexplainable lengthening of his hair when it is in a ponytail (which would bother me).

Ripp: Why would my hair get a whole foot longer when I put it up? It just doesn't make sense.


This looks exactly right to me, but I just want to snip off about half (maybe 3/4) of the tail. I really appreciate any suggestions you might be able to offer.

Oh no, you must be thinking of someone else. I haven't delved into mesh editing yet (though I want to). I just do recolors. I didn't even make my own eyes into defaults, someone else did that for me. :)

That said, since the basic mesh already exists, it might not be that hard to alter it. It wouldn't be like creating it from scratch. You'd need MilkShape or whatever it's called. There are tutorials on MTS2 about meshing.

If I didn't have Kirk moving this weekend, and a big Flash project due next week (and I suck at Flash) then I'd look into it myself... but you can do it! You're smart and creative! *cheers you on* :D

I was thinking about your Engineer Boots w/Simple Black Top for Adult Females. I thought that would have required more than just a recolour, but now that I went to see it again, it does say that you recoloured it.

Thanks for the pat on the back. :) Well, I am home sick today, so maybe I should do some research into to it, if I feel up to it.

Good luck with the move and the Flash Project!

I'm sorry you're sick! I hope it's not serious?

No, nothing too serious. Just a rotten headache and possibly a cold (hopefully not the flu). This is more of a preemptive sick day, to try to keep from getting any worse. I really need to be at work tomorrow, so I took this day to try to get better.

Considering that this is one of the first times that I have been ill all Winter, I feel pretty lucky.

I had a rotten headache myself, yesterday.

*tea and sympathy* I hope you feel better soon!

Thank you. Sorry to hear that you had a headache too. It's no fun, is it?

I'm going to go get myself some of that wonderful tea right now... it eases the pain.
