May I ask you something? How do you make to apply Pooklet's color actions over another texture that's not in Volatile color? Every time I try, I end up with a totally different color than the action I did use. Say, If I apply Pooklet's volatile color over some other hair textured in black I get an even darker shade instead that the volatile color. Sorry about the newbie question, but I can't find a way to make it work :/
