[Request] Samurai Topknot

[haloblivion]

Hello.

I was wandering if anyone knows of any mods out there, or indeed is willing to make a mod, that have a Samurai-style Topknot. The ones in the vanilla game are not really that good. I'm looking for something like the "Gathered" hairstyle except with a topknot instead of a ponytail. I'm not fussed about adjustable length though.

Some images of styles that I'm looking for (especially the first one):

Image 3

Image 4 (the ones with the bald parts)

If someone knows of a mod that includes something like this, please post a link or URL. If you are willing to attempt to make a mod like this, please let me know.

 

Thanks.

So no one is even willing to try helping me?

What about a tutorial? I've found two vanilla hairstyles that could go together and result in what I want. I just need a tutorial on how to combine hair models in NifSkope. Blender doesn't work for me, so that's out of the questions. I need to know about .egm files and whatnot.

 

Thanks.

I don't think you're going to be able to combine hairstyles in Nifskope, and even when working in blender, hairs can be challenging and very tricky.

 

The conformulator can create .egm files for Oblivion. There is also a blank .egm file in some of throttlekitty's resource files, if I recall correctly.

 

As far as getting someone to make it for you, there is just a very limited number of people who can do hairs around, and of those few, some may not be able to do what you want for whatever reason, even fewer of the "hair people" speak fluent english, and of that small pool, you have to hope they've seen your request, and that they even have time and/or inclination to help you.

 

But if you are willing to tackle blender or any 3D modeling program, there are some tutorials on youtube and around the modeling websites that might be helpful.

 

Your best bet is probably to write to one of the recently released hair mod authors for advice.
