bmp-based hairstyles?

[kayjo]

I think bmp-based hairstyles are an invention since I was last active in hexing, because I'm still totally confused by some aspects of it -- I've played around a little and know how to add little hair accessories/some tufts of hair using bmps in the same way that you'd add tattoos to a baby, but it sounds like there are hairstyles (I think!) made entirely or almost entirely from bmp graphics instead of balls and linez?

What do those hairstyles look like? Could anyone share pictures of babyz that have this kind of hexing and point out the parts that are bmps and not balls/linez if they have both? I went looking for tutorials and found the hair decoration guide but that's for accessories rather than a full hairstyle, and I have no idea what that process looks like. I can't keep up with these new hexing inventions ;D

I have a pretty in-depth tutorial on my way of doing bmp hairstyles! And as examples, here are some of my styles that are 100% bmp-based - not a single solid addball or line in sight <3

Omg thank you so much!! I don't know how I missed that tutorial, I was doing my best to use the search function to find things! Super excited to watch it (:

Also, all of those hairstyles are gorgeous!

Okay, doing my first trial run with bmp-based hair, and halfway through I have a question!


  


I'm planning to cover the blank space between that longer strand with another bang bmp, but for the back of her head-- is there a way to change hair circumference to get her base hair to cover more of her head/go further down the back of her head? I remember trying to mess with those hair numbers under the paint ballz section years ago and not being able to get them to cooperate.

Natalie has a released code I think many people here widely use to help with that!
It goes in the bottom of the LNZ sections where paintballz are!

omg perfect, that's exactly what i was looking for! thank you!! 

also hahaha, at first i was getting this result:




and was like 'what on earth am i doing wrong?! i'm just pasting in a code?!?' and eventually tried it on a fresh baby and realized that ... Natalie's code texture is set to '4' instead of the default '3' which was the first of my hair strand bmps, not my base. whoops!!
