This was something that was definately on my list to redo in Afterglow, but I had been putting off just down to the sheer amount of items that would need recolouring… but now my texture defaults are done, I may as well tackle my Nihongami style kit!
Ultimatley most of the information is the same as my Pooklet texture version. To save you downloading both versions, I’ve included all of the non-hair texture accessories in the zip, too. Remember to pick one mesh for the Long Yue bun, the original mesh, or the edited mesh that works better with the shimada hairstyle. The only new thing really is that I made a second alpha edit of the Rose hime bangs that are shorter than the original alpha, but they don’t clash and you can have both. All hairpieces are in the five Afterglow naturals in seperate labelled packages. The original bodyshop previews have the details of the different mesh variations so here are those:
long yue bun / rose hime bangs / han bun / spirit of spring twin buns/ kushi comb / taka shimada band / hana kanzashi/ lady yi wig / spirit of spring twin bun / taoboa 5 flower /sims 2 heaven bun / birabira kanzashi / chinkoro mage / red bud hairpin / unique bun / fu rong jin pins/ fu rong jin bun / aromatic bun / tama kanzashi / ougi kanzashi
you can see in the banner preview that there’s a lot of ways to arrange these together, and I have a few more on display in the original post! I was watching Blue Eye Samurai a while ago, and there’s a lot of shimada inspiration there, the animators took care to give the characters varying shapes and styles, so the variety is really cool to see
Then I made some recolours of the base hair, the Goze Traditional Shimada. Letomills has an odd ability to intuit what I want without even asking, and made an edited version of the mesh which works better with hairlines, which is really something that disspointed me with the original mesh, so those are the meshes included! I made 3 variations on the alpha; the first is the ‘original’ shimada; with the shibori and the tama kanzashi. This time I made the decision to edit out the odd coin shaped kanzashi as I can’t say I’m entireley sure what it was ment to be, and it was just getting in the way of nice and authentic looking styles. I also added a shibori texture to the shibori because… why was there a shibori tie with no shibori in the first place? The second alpha is the flowers one, I made the same pink and blue versions as in Leto’s edit. the last is my plain, no accessories shimada, which is just hair with no extra accessories to be layered with a variety of hairpieces or just worn by itself! Lastly I thought it’d be good to do the male hairstyle that Hriveresse converted from the same pack, so I fought the mapping of traditional sumo (and the mapping won, it’s horrid) to accompany the F hairs. Shimada is 3638 poly, sumo is 4048, all versions come in the original Afterglow family binned into one package each, meshes in the zips, fully compressorized.
Additional credits: Eaxis, Hriveresse, LetoMills, Moirae, Sims2Heaven, Rose, Doremi, Tamaki and Ran417 for the meshes. Antoninko for the afterglow textures and actions!
