Kokoro hair on Nyotengu: couple of questions

[mrtester123]

Hello friends,

 

Recently I have been playing around with adding hairstyles to different characters. Thanks to AutoLink and lnk_reshuffle, this is a fairly straightforward operation. I really like how Kokoro's hair looks on Nyotengu's face, but I have come across some minor issues that I hope someone on this forum might be able to help me with

 

1. With the exception of KOKORO_HAIR_005, all of Kokoro's hairs have a slight 'bald spot' (see attached images for comparison). How would one get rid of this unsightly blemish? I was thinking it might be caused by Kokoro's hair slightly clipping through part of Nyotengu's body, so I was thinking maybe moving the hair up a little bit would get rid of the 'bald spot'. Does anyone have any idea how one might do this, or if there might be some other method to fix Kokoro's hair on Nyotengu's body? I have already tried using the TMC Bone Tool to convert Kokoro's hair to Nyotengu's with no success.

 

 

2. Nyotengu's face has a bit of a purple shadow at the top of her head. Normally, this shadow would be covered by Nyotengu's normal hair, but when using other character's hairstyles the purple shadow doesn't look very good. I came across a 'clean' mod of Nyotengu's face that works pretty nicely for adding other character's hairstyles, but when using the Private Paradise Nude bodies I can't use the 'clean' face mod I downloaded before as the nude body has a slightly different skin texture. I have attached an example of what the 'clean' face mod texture looks like. I tried extracting the .DDS and editing the textures in Paint.NET and Gimp, but I can't figure out how the modder made his modifications. The files look the same in Paint.NET and Gimp, but when viewing the textures in LR Photo Studio and in-game the purple shadow has been cleaned up... Anyone have any insight on how one might make this kind of skin texture mod? It would also be useful to 'clean' the purple shadows around Nyotengu's ears as well

 

 

I hope there's someone out there who can provide some insight on how these minor issues might be resolved.

Hello,

 

About Kokoro hair on Nyotengu :

 

You have differents method to fit the hair, more or less hard to do.

 

1) Move hair meshes manually via Blender then re-inject the tmcmesh in the right slots in the hair TMC.

2) Transform the TMC in MQO and move the hair via Metasoquia, then re-convert into TMC.

3) Edit the face part that have bald spot, then re-inject the tmcmesh in the face TMC.

 

Regarding the Clean face of Nyotengu, I saw someone that made this clean face for her somewhere but I can't remember who did it.

If I'm not wrong it should be possible to find on Deviantart or even Zetaboard.

 

Making texture edits like this is different for everyone and depending of the software you use, but prepare to use many layers in all case, plus lightning and rgb edit to match the skin if you use another girl face reference to cover the shadows.
