help on making your own custom hair, not just recoloring!

[cmujamie]

Hi, sorry if my post is unacceptable or something.. I am new to this site and have been looking around this forum but couldn't find anything, or maybe it is because I am not exactally sure where to look? But I did check the tutorials and a bunch of other places..

Anyway I was wondering if someone could help me out on how to make custom hair for the sims 2. I know how to re color the different maxis made hairs and stuff, I want to learn how to make other different styles, and if those require meshes how do you make those too?

I understand this question is not very specific! Sorry, but I hope someone can put me in the right direction, or help me out. I promised I looked around!

Thanks in advanced!!

You probably need to start by learning how to modify a body mesh. Hair meshes are like that, but more complicated. I don't know if we have any totally basic step by step hair modding tutorials, but I do know we have several that give tips for working with hair. But the body mesh tutorials, there are a couple that take you through every step and you'll need to use those skills to make hair meshes.
Look for the mesh creation and texturing section of the create/tutorials area.
