Hair Fair 2009

With the hair fair coming up, I will need to make some new hair styles for this event coming up in late June, early July. I don't think I'll be able to put out any new releases until then. I will be putting up my best effort just for this event, in the next two months on these 5 styles. I will be also putting up a freebie hair accessory at this event. I'm not sure what, yet. Hopefully this years event will be better managed. I wasn't that happy last year with the rather large prim limits. I thought some of it was rather unnecessary considering much of it never rezzed. Hopefully this year's event will a little less laggier.


Hair Fair 09 - Welcome!

This hair built with normal prims would be about 456 prims. That is not the case with this hair as it is built with oblong sculpts which I use to create hair 1/8th of that primitive amount by pinching or dividing each prim sculpt into 8 pieces. So that actual total is 57 prims.

After the intial load of the sculpts, the hair will be much more efficient than any 100+ prim hair that I often times end up at.

I will put this hair up with a new release price of 100L for this first week (Until Sunday, April 12). I like to do this so people looking for new releases can get them cheap. Once that is over with, the normal price will be 235L for regular packs and 800L for the mega pack.

Once again, all new releases come with the hair sizer script. This makes things so much easier to resize. I do suggest to choose the delete option when running this script once the hair his sized up well to be lag friendly to other people. Before doing this, make back ups of the hair with the script.

It's been over a month, I know. I spent about 2 weeks learning how to do this. Then issues with outside of SL with real life came about. So hopefully now that is over with I can continue to make more hair. My next plan is for some braids to be done as I find this process I learned how to do could be very useful in making those.

Thanks for looking.

Lestat 2

Based on the movie Interview with the Vampire. Released Lestat last week as a pony tail and this is my try at the same hair not tied up.
107 prims and the resize script as usual. I like this style more on the female model, but my intention was for it to be a Lestat style too. Clothing can be found here: GOTHIC VAMPIRE Clothing MEDIEVAL, Bonita (25, 37, 72)
I really like the dress. The hair really goes well with the dress.

Interview with the Vampire "Lestat"

It's been three weekends. It may not look like it to some, but I spent at least 25 hours on this style. So I really put some extra effort into it. That is one of the reasons why its been three weekends since the last style.
This style is based on the movie "Interview with the Vampire". So that is why I'm naming it "Lestat". I managed to build this with 40 prims total. The scrunchie includes the color script.
The demo includes the sizing and scrunchie script. I suggest sizing the demo first to make sure this hair will fit. Some head shapes may not fit as desired.
Depending on how I feel, I may make a Lestat II without the hair tied up.

Behind on hair

Trying to work on "Interview" but I'm having trouble. I don't know if I'll get done this weekend, but I will for sure next week or weekend. I've become too much of a perfectionist I guess. My next wigs I'm going to try to simplify a bit and have some more fun again.

Interview with the Vampire

I decided to go with the guy hair in Interview With the Vampire. I'll actually potentially call it Interview too. This pony tail with end up not as tight/close to the scalp as Ashlee and the tail with be a bit more curly. I'll probably take at least two weeks for this, I'm not rushing hairstyles like I did a couple of years ago.

Ashlee realistic hair lined ponytail with shape shown

My first and main concern with this hair was how many avatars will it fit. I sent out some prototypes to the Jolie Femme update group and had some positive replies.
I am still concerned. This hair will not fit everyone even with the resize script and my best effort. For that reason, please try the demo first. The demo contains the resize script and can most definitely be made to fit beforehand. I would even keep track of the numbers before making the main purchase to make things easier.
I also included the shape shown in the photograph, called Ashlee also. I actually made this shape months ago for my own use, but her it is for free out of the box to fit with the Ashlee hair. It is a short heighted avatar compared to other 7 foot ones out there.
The scrunchie in back is also scripted with colors and textures including plaid colors. I love the plaid!!
I spent several weekends on this project and hope it turns out the best way possible for the most customers possible. Thanks for the prototype tester's too. I almost gave up on this and I hope there isn't any issues with too many customers buying hair that doesn't fit.

Please please please, demo first!!!!
