2 Maxis Match Hair Retextures  




My first hair retextures/recolours ever! They're far from perfect but everyone has to start from somewhere, right? I never knew I could have fun with something like retexturing but I did and I've a feeling that Maxis Match retexturing is going to be my next obsession ;) I know exactly what kind of retextures I would like to create but that would require more skills and ability to paint hair by hand so I won't be making my dream textures anytime soon... But perhaps sometime in the future.

I apologize the huge amount of pointless pictures but this was such a great excuse to take tons of pictures that I couldn't resist... I don't know if anyone else want to use these but I thought I could upload them anyway :)

Thanks! Perhaps you should try retexturing and recolouring again now, it's actually surprisingly fun :) There're so many meshes I haven't been able to use because their textures are so shiny but now I'll be able to use them!

I second Tenielle, the do look great! I enjoyed the pics, especially the one with the pink flamingos, lol.

Hah, I just really had to use something else than cowplants this time :D And pink flamingos are my second favourite after cowplants I think.

Not only will I be grabbing these, but I put them on the site too *winks*
pennysims[info]pennysims on August 28th, 2009 06:50 am (UTC)
Thank you! You do such great work with the site.

These are great! I really like #81.
pennysims[info]pennysims on August 28th, 2009 06:55 am (UTC)
I'm glad you like them! I like that Raon mesh too.

These are fantastic, Penny. :) I especially love #81 as well, the only maxis-match retexture I've ever seen of it used Piggi's textures and they are nowhere near as gorgeous as Neena's, in my humble opinion. :P

Thank you, I'm glad you like them! I like Neena's textures too although Miki's are even more gorgeous in my opinion. I *think* she might paint them by hand so there's no way I could do anything like that.
cassandra[info]cosmetical on August 28th, 2009 06:06 pm (UTC)
Well, you can extract textures from a hair to use on another hair, but if they are handpainted, like you said, they are gonna be really difficult to work with, generally. you might be able to do something with the textures she used on this hair as they appear to maybe have some straight parts? :)

I do believe Neena handpaints hers as well though, as she says in this post, but hers are not usually wavy so that helps a lot. :)
pennysims[info]pennysims on August 29th, 2009 08:51 am (UTC)
That's true :) I actually extracted textures from that hair and while it looked like something that could be used for other hairs too, I'm not sure how much work that would require... The other thing is that I don't know if Miki allows others to use her textures. I might ask her though because her textures are just so delicious!

Oh, I didn't know Neena handpaints her textures too. They look so... not-handpainted to me :D

Wonderful Penny! :D

I think you manege to find yourself a new talent and, better, you actually have fun with it!
I definitely want to see more, please.

They are a lot of interesting hair styles around but, I usually don't use them in my game because of their texture or color (I prefer maxis hair colors)...

I have to say this again: I Love your Sims and that touch you have in your pictures!
pennysims[info]pennysims on August 29th, 2009 08:45 am (UTC)
I've definitely had surprisingly fun with retexturing! I made 6 retextures yesterday... Why no-one told me how much fun this is?!

I've been thinking about trying to do hair with Maxis textures and colours too. That might be challenging but I'll give it a try :)

Thank you for always being so super nice! I'm glad you like my Sims and pictures :)

yay for Maxis-match hair!!!

I'll download this as soon as i get back on my gaming computer and I'm totally looking forward to seeing more from you. :)
pennysims[info]pennysims on August 29th, 2009 08:46 am (UTC)
I lovelovelove Maxis Match hair. In the past I loved Nouk's textures and didn't mind using shiny hair but nowadays all that shine hurts my eyes :D

More will be coming soon!

They look adorable! Especially for a first try. Did you find it hard to fit textures to other alpha's?
You're finding so many new things to do, it's great to see you try your hand at new professions and discover how much fun they are :)
pennysims[info]pennysims on September 1st, 2009 11:36 am (UTC)
It wasn't difficult but I couldn't do it with Gimp so I had to use Photoshop (it was a little bit weird because it's been years I used it last time). But then again I didn't try to do it perfectly and was quite lazy with it :P I wasn't going to upload these at all and since this quality was enough for me I didn't need to make it any better.

I'm trying to find things I can do... To be honest I would prefer those things to be something else than hair retexturing but at least I can do something else than resting 24/7!

Can I ask you where you got the textures? I've been looking for them forever, and I didn't know if I should just take the textures from a maxis-match hair I already had. I really wanna try and make some maxis match retexures! :)
pennysims[info]pennysims on December 2nd, 2010 11:23 am (UTC)
Hello there! I'm sorry it took so long to get back to you but I haven't been around... Anyway, I'm using Neena's/[personal profile] summerdream's textures, although slightly edited. You can get her textures by downloading one of her hairs :)
