This is a brand new, low poly hair mesh that uses Maxis beanie as a base. (previously posted to GoS & Pillowfort ) I felt like this was special enough to make it my very first upload here. Edited August 2nd: Added optional version that is actually flagged as a hat. I completely forgot that's a thing you can do so if that's something you might like please redownload that version instead. The hat-flagged files have "_hat" added to the filename BUT they use the same files so you'll have to delete the originals to not have useless duplicates.
Info:
- Uses modified maxis beanie as the base and I meshed the hair strands and the additional safety pin and rings on the beanie for some extra character.
- The pin and rings can be deleted by editing them off the hat alpha, they are a simple plane so they add mere 10 polys to the whole thing.
- Mesh is extremely low poly, the highest polycount is on the adult male and it's 1520 faces, 1066 vertices. Every other age/gender is sligthly lower since the male scalp for some reason is more detailed than it's for the other ages.
- Texture is split to two parts: hat + its decorations (512) and the hair(1024). Scalp texture was disabled (=set to null) . There is no hair under the hat so if you alpha it out you'll have bald head.
- As I wanted to keep it low poly the mesh relies more on the texture for shape than having tons of separate strands for it. This might make it tricky to retexture, but you are more than welcome to do that. (or use the original texture and run your colors over it, that's fine too!)
- Works for toddler to elder and for both genders.
- Texture was partly hand drawn + partly blended with my texture, alpha borrows parts of Rosesims's alpha since I couldn't get the strands drawn the way I wanted. If the texture is used for something I'd like to be credited for it.
- Since I also use Dynamite and Volatile in my color sets if you install both Digi and Pooklet+Io sets they'll overwrite each other (or if you keep them in separate folders then you'll get two copies of them as they are different files)
- Also includes additional white beanie texture in case you'd like to recolor it to other colors or just use white one as is.
