Dreamwidth codes and WIP
Hey guys. I have some dreamwidth codes, so if you still need one and didn't get one from someone else already, feel free to leave me a comment here with your email address. I'll delete the comment after I send you a code so your email isn't just chilling on the internet for all to see. ;)
In other news, I'm in the middle of moving back into college for my senior year (augh I am not ready for this to be over), which of course means hanging out a lot during the day instead of unpacking boxes. In an effort to be at least somewhat productive, I retextured a hair. I like Agustin's "sexy pushed back" hair, but the textures didn't match the rest of the hairs I have, so I decided to Pook it.

The picture on the right shows a couple of imperfections, presumably in the mesh, since I didn't mess with the alpha or anything at all, and I know that seam was there before I retextured. I haven't checked out my version in-game yet, so I'm hoping it won't be so visible outside of bodyshop.
Uncompressed, my recolor files add up to about 16 MB, which is bigger than I'd hoped. The original version, with its 8 naturals and 1 elder hair, is 5.25 MB; mine, of course, has all 16 Pooklet naturals, plus 3 elder grays. I took out the toddler and child versions because the mesh doesn't work for those ages, but unfortunately the files didn't get any smaller. :P One great thing is that this is a relatively low-poly mesh--3262 polys, according to Agustin's original post. Huzzah!
Anyway, I'll upload this at some point, after I get a chance to take previews.
