Don't take this as a complaint against freestuff, oh nononono. Just an expression of bewilderment. There seems to be a trend for people to take a hair texture, or a dress texture, and run it through Photoshop a dozen times, tweaking the hue slider each time, and then posting the results as "Red texture for the XXX hair", "Blue texture for the XXX hair", "Green texture for the XXX hair" and so on. Is there a reason for this? Are there genuinely people who can't change the colour of hair for themselves and who benefit from this? Or is there a secret prize for the person who does the most uploads? If people really do find this sort of thing useful, I'll be happy to upload another fifty, from Cotton Candy to Midnight Blue by way of Hooker's Green.

Maybe these would be useful for people who doesn't have image editing software... Hmmm... Like who? I agree that it is mystifying. If, one day, I need a differently coloured hair etc, it's a 2 second job to adjust the texture to exactly the colour I want... The available colours are unlikley to be exactly what I feel I need, so I'd have to run these through PSP anyway. Give us a decent blonde, black, brunette. That's all we need! H:)

"People who doesn't" I'm not sparing the rod on myself for that. Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!

What I don't understand is why base hair textures aren't grey scale and allow the use to just set the ahir color with the base color material property. Maybe a blonde texture in which each piece is built up with seperate colors works but just taking a texture in photoshop and running variation on it is the same as applying a global color to a grey map. I would much rather have people make a grey map so I can set the color myself.

Since the textures get downloaded there must be those who find use and are grateful for them. There probably are people who don't have paint programs or may not be proficient at them and in the world of fairies, fantasy, and punk, color is important. What is useless to you may be treasure to another and sharing is always nice.

Franky, I'm beyond awful at editing textures, as are many graphics rookies. I appreciate hair textures put in freestuff. When items for the marketplace are done in the same manner however, there might be a customer or two who might not be pleased with the results if they purchase the product at all. shrug They are useful to me.

I agree that they're usefull, but PLEASE...make ONE file with them all in and not 27 different zips with hair in all colours.... same goes for clothes textures. Make them in sets at at least 3 or 5 (depending on size). Or at least make it an OPTION to get them all at once. I love getting new colours, but I don't like downloading a dozen small files and then find out the creator didn't even bother to put the proper path in them, or worse, DID put the proper path in them but started the path with something like "my_nifty_texturesruntimetexturesblablabla"

Gamboge, alizirin, terra verde, viriditas, pthalo green, tierro ciello, blanc verte awww - you don't want colors? :) How about blue-black, bone-black, miner's black, vine black, shade black, china black, lamp black, ivory black .... The only time I'd do that for hair (or eyes cough) is if I've been using some funky recoloring methods (like convolver, or multiple color channel switching) For single piece clothing I make a batch together - for multiple clothing piece sets I'll make a separate zip for each (like the outlander textures I did recently) And why do poeple have this obsession with red hair? there's about 10 versions of Koz's hair in red.

Actually, Mason, some hair makers (Vairesh, I think), do just that. It's fine for Poser, but less fine when rendering in Bryce. But colorizing the grey texture is easy. Eau-de-Nil, Prussian Blue, Chartreuse, Burnt Umber ... Octarine??
