howlong till we can expect hair mods?

[SykoBlasphemy]

not really a mod request but more like to have insight from experienced modders

 

is there a reason we arent seeing any of those kinds of mods yet?

Changing a hair color is super easy - you can smear paint on a canvas and that's it, changing an animated thing with physics is extremely hard and takes much more than clicking a paint tool.

Tools aren't out yet.

Only thing that might be considered, is long hair would be an absolute nightmare with the need to wear helmets and requiring them to be fully air-tight vacuum seals. I can see why they (Even as a in game 'lore' reasoning) would not want long hair.

Hopefully it will be relatively straightforward with starfield - back in fallout 4 and Skyrim the Devs used an ancient version of havok tools to make hair bounce and animate correctly - and that tool shortly after Skyrim released became next to impossible to get ahold of, so very few modders had the ability to make new fully functional hair and not just mesh edits or retextures.

 

With any luck they used a new method.

 

Helmets wouldn't be an issue as far as game mechanics go because starfield hides the characters hair under a cap when wearing a helmet. In real life astronauts do the same thing and/or tie their hair up so it doesn't float Infront of their face. But there is no expectation for astronauts irl to have shorter hair, so long hair in my opinion would be perfectly fine for lore/immersion.

 

How long until? - well whenever nif tools and/or nifscope releases

There's High-Res Hair and Beards, but it didn't show in my game.
