Helmet Hair.

[CoopCoupe]

I'm having issues with my character's hair and ears clipping through certain helmets-Riot Gear/NCR Combat/Desert Ranger Armor.

 

I suspect they're being treated as masks and not helmets somehow.

Any way to fix this?

It's quite complicated to fix.

I believe you would need to edit the hair/helmet for each helmet you want to use.

 

Very labour intensive and complicated work.

That's why most custom hairs clip through hats and helmets, they are often just quick port overs from another game. XD

 

For the full helmets you can get away away by removing the hair completely when wearing them, but other helmets and hats will look silly with no hair.

Yeah, that's actually what I ended up doing.

Went into GECK and re-flagged them.

You could try giving yourself a vanilla hair piece when wearing hats and helmets maybe as well.

My experience with the hair mods:

 

You can mod them to work correctly. It requires an extra step or 2 that normally you dont need with say armor, weapons and whatever. You need the Hair noHair meshes properly assigned to the mesh. And a proper conformulate (most of the mods have that done but need tweeking), and finally they need to be wrapped into .bsa file for the game to read the mesh properly.

 

I fiddled with a bunch of the hair mods and it took forever to get it to look decently. Lots of trial and error with the head morphs to find happy mediums.

 

it was well worth it however.
