Hi, I'm looking for either a blonde texture for Kozaburo's original ponytail mesh, or a prop/figure of a simple pulled-back ponytail. Does anybody know where I could find something like this?

Do you have anything like Photoshop or a painting program? That way you can just make a copy of the hair texture and re-color it. I do that a lot, and its a good method.

Koz's Pony Tail (the newer one) is blonde. If you're committed to the older Pony Tail, then you can probably remap that one with the Koz's blond textures.

I just go into the materials room and change the material color...seems to work just fine...

@Engelken: Koz's new ponytail has a significantly different look to it. It's very short, and looks pretty styled (unless there are some morphs that I'm missing). It just doesn't look quite right on the male character I'm working on. So far as remapping... I hadn't thought of changing the UV Map. I'll see if I can get it to be somewhat close to the layout on the new ponytail. @Saro, Cedarwolf: That's what I've been doing... Unfortunately, because the color was originally black, there are large spots with no detail. You can't see them in black hair, but they really show up in light color hair.

There's a male ponytail that comes with P4. Too bad nobody ever made any textures/transmaps for that one...

Yup, you are right about how different the two maps are. This was way harder than I thought it would be, but do-able.

... I don't suppose you could post that online somewhere, and save a poor student a bit of time? :-P It looks great. Was that accomplished by changing the UV Map or manipulating the image texture? Is the donor texture Koz's other ponytail, or did you use a different source?

Thank you. Put them on the linked site. You can download from there. Also made a more toned-down blond version, shown here.

Sorry about that....just too early in the morning. Here's the proper link.

And in answer to your question--how it was done--took Master Koz's blond texture and cut and pasted pieces till it looked right.

Perfect... Thanks a ton.
