Special Hairstyle : black hair with white streaks

[Kal-El]

Hello everyone,

 

I looked all over the internet but didn't find any mod with that hairstyle : two toned hair or black hair with white streaks for a more classy or noble character.

 

It seems like you can't do it in Skyrim, but, while travelling in Skyrim, I found this hairstyle on the giants, they have the two toned hairstyle.

And I wanted to know if a modder can make the giants hairstyle (or only their beards) playable for our characters.

 

Maybe import Ra's Al Ghul hair from Batman Arkham city or if a mod already exist.

You can make it two toned in Photoshop or Gimp (I used paint.net)

 

 

 

 

Select the .DDS file of the hair your gonna use, then select which part of the hair you want white and adjust with curve or hue, then the same for the parts you want black.

Then on the showracemenu slider select the white color. That's how I did it.

If you select other slider colors it will change both colors tho. It's the only way I found you can get two toned atm.

I don't think there is a mod yet to do it in char creation w/o doing the .dds file tweak (I was looking for the same thing you were ) I just happen to read somewhere how to do it in photoshop/gimp.

The big question is: keep it simple or go for more colours?

Lolz xD I edited the .dds files of all my hairs so much they're all practically rainbow

[Zquad1]

I think I figured it out:

 

 

 

 

[Zquad1]

Is there a way to color the very top of the hair?

or is this how this type of hair was made?

 

 

 

ok I was able to fix it by tweaking with the Tolerance slider.

 

[cornbreadtm]

i'm on my phone so i cant link it. but search emo hair on the nexus. there is already a hair highlights and streaks mod its for apachii hairs. should have what you need. if not its resources are already set up to make it.

For all my hair re-textures I use the highest DXT5 compression. Not sure about others though.

I have put this tiny tutorial together of how I changed the Color in my Hair, just to point people in the right direction, when it comes to altering original colors

 

This is the method I used to change my hair color, now I know there are better ways, I just have not discovered them yet, so if anyone wants to add to this they are welcome too!!!

 

FYI I am using "Paint.net" for this tutorial.

 

I have Circled in RED the Points of interest.

Step 1: Click "File", then "Open" then Locate the Hair file you want to change, it must be a .dds file located in the "Texture" folders.

 

 

 

Step 2: Go to "Tools" & select the "Recolor" tool.

 

 

 

Step 3: Select "Tolerance" level percentage, 50% is great for black Hair.

 

 

 

Step 4: Go to "Window" & select "Colors".

 

 

 

Step 5: Color the parts of the hair you want colored.

 

 

 

Step 6: Go up to the File tab, & select "Save As"

 

Step 7: Now save the file in a temporary location or save it into your Skyrim's Hair directory

 

Example: Program files(x86)/Steam/SteamApps/Common/Skyrim/Data/Textures/NS

The example above is my directory for the Hunting grounds Hood with Hair
 

Hunting Grounds Outfit Hood with Hair recolored.

 

 

 

Here
is also another way to Alter the Hair---->

Just use the method exactly like the picture in the video for your .dds file.

 

I personally Skipped Step 4 in the video.

 

Here is a pic with Both Methods used:

 

 

 

Make sure though you "DO NOT" overwrite the original Hair file or you will have to re-download the hair mod, I suggest saving your original Hair file in a separate location  in case you need or want to revert back to the original.
