Any Decent Custom Hair?
Darkstormyeve:
I am having real trouble finding nice hair to download. Sure they all look good on the website but they are crap when you see them on your sims. Some still a blue hairline etc.
I downloaded alot from Simconnection but they looked really fake on my sims and just not as subtle as the maxis made ones. They seemed to 'move' wrong. Anything trying to achieve a curly look looks like a painting on my sims head - not like hair.
Pronupsims have great hair, but again the curly look just doesn't work.
Anyone found any good sites with nice hair that isn't too fake and are well made? They tend to be such big files, I only want to download good ones.
Cheers
Stormy

It's hard to make good hair in games. You can't do stuff like Poser does with modeling every strand in some cases because the poly counts on those would choke games. So you have to settle for low poly stuff which tends to look plasticy. Alpha channels help, as does a good texture but there's really on so much you can do.
Also good is in the eyes of the beholder and while I agree with you about a lot of custom hairs looking fake or having cracks show through in the mesh etc, there seem to be a lot of people who like them and are quite happy with them. I even notice people doing the gender swapping on hairs and being quite happy to ignore the fact that there's a gaping whole in the head because the hair wasn't made to fit that gender's head mesh. :P
I guess to start I could ask are there any hairs Maxis or custom that you liked and then maybe get an idea what you're looking for and see what I could come up with. Also are you looking for women's, men's, kid's etc?

Thanks Motoki. I have no idea whats involved with making hair and I truly do appreciate the time people take to make them but yep, I'm fussy and often go back to maxis hair. But again I have found pronupsims to be the best, particluary their really long straightish hair and the big bun style.
Most ponytails turn out good too for some reason.
I like the maxis colours and I like bangs with formal updo's.
I am happy to live with maxis ones I guess.

I think one of the reasons custom hair meshes look "plastic" is because, from what I understand, impossible to animate them like Maxis hair. Long Maxis hair moves so smoothly, but I think there is only so much movement you can have with custom hair. Correct me if I'm wrong, though.

I was really disapointed with Simconnection hairs. http://sussissogoodsims2.com/ has some very nice ones.
