Seeking more Dreadlocks / Weaves / Braids

[Pussycat Catnap]

I've kinda run out of shops.

There's booN and no.Match

And everyone else seems to be out of business... or... I try the demo and zoom back 5m and it turns into triangles... or... it's no-mod.

 

Looking for suggestions for any of Dreadlocks, Weaves, or Braids that fit these criteria:

1. Copy / Mod - I have my own custom hair color so I need a dark brown or faded black I can use the 'color' tool to set to "me".

2. Low Complexity Score - under 10,000 is best. Under 15,000 I can still use with most outfits.

3. Doesn't turn into triangles when I zoom myself back. I use LOD 2.5 (see Firestorm's latest release and it's article about why we need to use lower LOD). But some brands break into triangles only a short distance away even at LOD 4.

4. Doesn't run in front of the bosom. Even if fitmesh, I find this never looks right from either the side or the front or both with the shape I use.

 

What's out there these days that I am failing to find?

well not so sure you are failing to find but with the requirements you state you need.. that would narrow the field down considerably I am afraid.  Firstly there are very few hair makers that provide any sort of mod abilities.  As for complexity and LOD factors well those are only things you can test out once you have a demo of course.  I can think of one place you might want to check out for the styles you mention.. and that would be  enVOGUE  http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Auro/142/199/23  I know they have a load of dreads and such and although most are no mod, the ones I have also have an option for you to alter the colour via a colour change with the hud.

You might also try EMO-tions and Analog Dog.  I'm not sure about the Analog Dog hairs, but I have been able to make tint changes to the EMO-tions hair that I own.

[Chic Aeon]

Vanity Hair has a bunch but I suspect they are no mod. There is a "tint" feature in the hud which might work for you.  I guess if you used a non-rigged version it would likely be mod.

My fav store for dreads is No.Match There are many styles of dreads there that look really good.

What kind of maniac sells hair and makes it no modify?

[Roary McGillivary]

ICONIC, Unorthodox and EMO-tions are two good places for "ethnic hair" and DO NOT forget about Angel Rock OMG what a god send to SL. "Ethnic" hair is not some thing that is thought about I dont think. I just keep reminding some creators when they make some thing with hats to remember that some, like us chocolate girls do not have the perfectly straight European hair. Wearing a shower cap or wrap on your head while you sleep to keep your hair from turning into a hair explosion, is the constant struggle for our beauty.

AND you might try Vanity Hair Vanity Hair,  I was just there today and there are tons of braids, dreds, afros, check them out!
