Oh, dude. That's horrifying, especially since she really should have known better. Which ones were they? I might give them a whack when I feel like tilting at windmills.

The ones that have made my poor little head hurt are:

Tyler (also known as Long Hair Little Braids)
Male Long Hair (the current object of my frustration, with the little blocky things that came out of nowhere)
Crispin (actually not TOO bad comparatively, but there's some mysterious wasted space and again with the front is not the back)
and the long male ponytail which is probably something like Long Pony Male. I haven't mucked with it yet, but I've done the Jake Sully Braid, which has very similar mapping, where the back side of one loose strand at the forehead has its very own group. I don't even.

Insanity mapping. But I got Crispin and Tyler done-- I'm actually pretty pleased with Crispin, I stole parts of a Peggy alpha and now it's got this fun unwashed-peasant stringy look to it.

... Oh, and I know Pooklet's whacking at them, but for the record that Two Wavy Tails mesh has the bangs linked directly to the ponytails, so if you wanted to take the bangs off or thin them down or whatever, you lose that much of your ponytails, too.

Urghhh, yes. Going to have to make a version with the fringe cut off of the mesh since Nouk's pretty famous for mapping the same texture/alpha to different parts of hair. I know it saves on space but it does make alpha edits frustrating.

It really, really does, and it would be awesome to have a version of that hair that, you know. Didn't do that. It's too cute on toddlers and kids to pass up.

Unfortunately, remapping things is also an area of meshing at which I fail pretty hard, bleurgh.

Whacking the bangs off completely is also awesome. Saves polys.

Aiyee. Those are all pretty old, which probably explains it (Crispin has way more pieces than it actually needs for the shape, as I'm sure you've noticed). And that male long hair is... wince worthy. I'll definitely give that one a bash, but I don't know if i can save it from its own malformedness.

But if not, that's all right. I know it's on the shampoo-commercial side, but I'll be converting the Valentine's hair for guys so they have something that actually looks like long hair.

Yeah, I figured they had to be on the old side-- at least the male long hair, it's not really very smooth and I have other long mail hairs I like better, but... I don't know, I felt compelled to at least try. But OH MY GOD so much stuff is on there upside down. As in, on some pieces the alpha that is the hairline is the hair ends on other pieces. (I found the bastard little pieces that were Horribly Wrong. Upside-down wrong. There was no hair-ish bit on her alpha there, and it wasn't until my alpha thinned the rest a little that it showed at all. ARGH.)

I seem to remember the Valentine's hair being a nice one. Somehow it's not in my bucket of Things To Pookletinate, but that is a pretty big bucket.

The Valentine's hair is one of the few female long hair meshes I liked for a long time -- it's not far past the shoulderblades, it has some wave to the texture, and the bits in front and framing locks of hair around the face aren't outrageously overdone.

I have a feeling the male long hair mesh is one of those that will be better remade from scratch. :|

I just went to look it up-- I have it, I use it, I guess I ought to Pooklet it one of these days-- and yeah, that is a right nice mesh. It'd look good on a guy.

Oh, probably, and it's a damn shame, because I just (like five seconds ago) remembered one of the reasons I like it-- I haven't seen any other long, straight male hairs that are swept back over the head-- no part, no wispy bits, nothing hanging over the shoulder in the front, just long, non-poofy hair pushed back off the face. I guess it brings something unique to the party after all.
