LM's KS Hairdo's Retexture WIP SSE _3rd December UPDATED_

Last updated on:


I bought for 70€ HairTG - Cards and HairTG Surface for Substance Painter this week and started my KS Hairdo Retex project. I always wanted more rougher, realistic hair. 

It's 983 Hairstyles. Which means this will be an ongoing update of the mod until it's finished. Because you don't retexture 983 Hairstyles in some weeks. This will be a project I am doing on the side as much as I feel for it and then update the mod when I have done some more hair. 

For now there are 12 hairstyles done. I am unsure if I ever retexture the very curly hairstyles. I have curly hair material but not that curly and I kind of as well don't want to, because it's quiet a pain. As good as the meshes are, I struggle with getting the curly hair illusion right. And when I can't make anything equally good. nor better, I won't. 

I might change existing textures if they need fixing. Like Revere doesn't have a proper sculpt texture yet, because I still need to learn to work with HairTG Surface. It's more to know than Cards and I need to find some brain time first for this.

The KS Hairdos mesh UVs are a dream and that's why those retextures are possible. I am very thankful for this high quality mod we got from Kalilies and Stealthic.

    • pattern 02 
  • added via ESP duplicates of Burn, Cassy, Adonis, Aftershock and gave them a scalp (uses my own textures) 
I made the decision to add duplicates of the hairstyles that I gave a scalp mesh, because if I would change the original hair records, I break NPCs that make use of those.

If you don't want the changes of the ESP and/or the meshes just hide them. You still get the retex. I won't make myself atm the work with making optional stuff and all. Because I am tired. I don't want to. And for myself I don't need to. Maybe when the retex is done.

    The download doesn't seem to have the updates. There's only textures for 12 hairstyles

      Oh damn, something must have been gone wrong with the MEGA upload then, thanks for letting me know.

      Upload is fixed now. I have no clue what MEGA did, but it still redirected to the old version instead of the updated one, which normally shouldn't happen.

      Thanks for fixing. Textures look good. They're a little dark on my setup but I don't use ENB.

      Nothing to do with ENB. I made the textures darker and more brownish. They still fit with the KS scalp texture that is darker, which is fitting the darker roots of the KS Hairdo's own textures. Skyrim doesn't render bright colors well. Mainly outside and with everything that isn't cloudy. I made the compromise of adapting the texture color as much as I could to balance that out. So now you can actually use colors that aren't just a dark brown and they won't go into the direction of glowing, or will look weird. Really bright colors, like a strong bright blue are now possible as well without the hair glowing. It's not perfect, like with everything. Has pro and cons, but I prefer it that way.

      Oh, that wasn't me criticizing. I just didn't know how much of a difference that would make. I admire anybody who takes the time to do what your doing.

      Oh, I didn't thought it was. I just wanted to explain why I made the decision and why it's darker. I don't want people to look on the wrong end either. Maybe you go on ENB hunt, make all the work, then realize, it's still dark. x'D And thank you! :)
