twowolves80 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 This isn't exactly a mod idea, per se, but I am curious if this has ever been made, and if not, it may be a solution to the rather humdrum, flat 2D "pubic hair" textures that come with body packages that you can select in the FOMod.Why not take a cue from our own history (the 1700s) and make merkins--pubic wigs--that act for all intents and purposes like clothing or jewelry and use an unused body slot? Merkin: n. The female genitalia and pubic hair, based on the name for a 'pubic wig sometimes worn from the 18 th century, often to disguise the shame of those who had been shaved in the treatment of venereal diseases. Because there is no such thing as STDs in Skyrim, right? Wait, there's that one mod...and that other...and then there's... Apachii Sky Hair does the same thing, I believe, only for the head, and the only difference beyond that is once it's set in the FOMod, it's set permanently, whereas if you treated it like armor or clothing or jewelry, you could swap out colors, trims, and other custom options in-game. Want Tank Girl with a neon pink spiked mowhawk and neon pink landing strip? Easy--swap out the accessory item. Want no hair for a particular screen archery shot? Remove the accessory item. The reason being that all the pubic hair textures I've seen are terrible. Flat high resolution images are still flat. If a small, "bushy" mesh was created, along with one for a landing strip, dorito chip, and whatever anyone else wants to see, you could texture it just like actual bushes in game, only shrunken down to the nth degree and worn like a merkin. I recall reading somewhere that meshes can be shrunk in Skyrim, and it will still render the HD aspect of it (hence, HD bees in glorious 8K textures that are on screen for 0.397 seconds... :rolleyes: ).Obviously, making a mesh and a texture is far different than simply adding it to the game. This would require someone who is skilled in Blender/Photoshop/GIMP/What-have-you to make the meshes and the textures, and make the surface of the mesh "choppy" to give the illusion of three dimensional texture when the texture map is applied.And suddenly, poof. 3D pubes that are HD and can be swapped out on the fly in color and in style.
