DAoC: Hats and Hairs
polycounter lvl 19
I came on Catacombs with only 3 months till ship, so I was helping with the odds and ends that still needed wrapping up. I had a blast, and I definately know how to paint hair quickly now. 8-)
Here are the role playing hats I made. On the right are the old versions. Keep in mind the poor artist who made those was given only a day to make them all. She is a great artists and I know they would have come out awesome if she had gotten the full amount of time I got to redo them. They are also a few more polys each on most of them. Each is on a 256
These are all the hairs I feel like showing. Each one is on a 256, and is between 300-500 triangles.

The hair is really superb. Hats all look great as well, though I would have expected a little more flare, but your stuck doing replicas as opposed to re-designs.
Perhaps you can do your next tutorial on hair, if you have the time?
Love them a whole lot. I bet your friggin sick of painting hair though. I know i can only take so much of it
I really like the male hair on the right, 3rd down. I wanna see a tutorial on how to do that!
I really like these hat textures, the only overlay on either of them was the leather overlay on the antler hat, all the other texture was hand painted, including the pattern for the jester hat fabric. (I made a small black and white image, and made it a pattern, then filled the layer and colorized it.)
My favorites of the hair is the one in the 3rd column, 3rd row. I used to have my hair like that years ago, and you captured that sorta clumpy soft look to where the 'mushroom' ends and tapers down.
The jester hat also looks nice. Definitly looks like satin, or whatever fabric I'm trying to think of. Even though it is rendered fully lit, it has a sheen to it. Good jorb!
Besides that.. I love you

Includes my brushes, the psd from the tutorial, and more!
My favorites are the guy with the spiky 'do and the jester hat. You have a nice overstuffed fabric look going on there.
Only minor crit might be some more colour variation in the hair. i.e a bigger range of colour but also some rogue grey, white hair etc. But I dont know, perhaps these are within a certain age range. But yeah great stuff, and thanks for taking the time with a tut.
But seriously, nice work.
