Shibbstah Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Howcome Vaylin is the only one who doesn't have to shave her head when wearing a hood? It's a reasonable question. D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XiamaraSimi Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Because shes a special model, ill guess the the hood is attached to both her hair and her head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketinvik Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Someone tried to shave Vaylin's head once...she wasn't amused. It didn't happen again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hadoken Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I think the hood is just part of her hair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnshaeNomodi Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 A little insight into 3D modelling here... Vaylin is not bald when she's wearing the hood because the mesh model for her was specifically designed that way. The hood AND her hair are all one mesh form and rigged to the armature so that they move in tandem with her head/body when she's animated. It's a neat little trick. Why hasn't this been done before? Why is it that every other hood leaves the Player Character bald when worn? Simple: too many armor sets. The game has far too many armor sets to make a version with hair underneath for each one, especially with customization. So, rather than endure the headache (and probably more expensive in labor hours) option, everyone is bald when they wear a hood... except Vaylin. No, I don't like being bald when I wear a hood, but having designed some mesh forms for Second Life has taught me a few things about how the process works. I may not like it, but I understand it.
