Actually, because most "real" hair doesn't conform in this way, you could say that its conformity is rather non-conformist.

True... But the moving hair isn't a specific costume piece.

What if it's long, and might cause clipping problems? That makes it a valid topic regarding costume parts |

However, I want information to be free, because it makes blackmailing the authorities that much easier after dismembering foes.

As for costume parts, I think anything with lights that'd blink on and off would be awesome.

And what if the moving hair you are so seriously fapping for clips so bad with hoods, hats, capes, and the like that great costumes are ruined because of it? If they do give us this horrendous idea, we'll have the option to turn off the moving.

I think it'd be like the animated tails, where you could chose to keep the old ones, or upgrade to the moving ones.

The real question is whether GG would give up her cape in favour of animated hair. Because animated hair would certainly be implemented with a cape rig, and only one cape rig per model.

Not true - the wedding veil cotume part can be worn with a cape, just like Ghost Widow can have her hair as well as her asscloak.

I have a Controller who has a cape with the Bolero robe/thing before they changed it so that you can't do that anymore. So it's definitely possible, they just don't want to hand out that option for whatever reason. Furthermore, you can still use a cape alongside the Butler's Tux jacket.

Hmm.... true. I had forgotten about those two ("those two" being the two rigs from the wedding pack. I don't really consider the bolero to be a breaking of the policy because of the subsequent removal of the combined option).
Still, I'm pretty sure animated hair will be proceeded by either a change in policy at Paragon Studios (which I don't view as too likely), or a reworking of the costume system to disallow such overlaps.

Two or more capes/capelike systems are a significant hit to game performance, according to BaB.

Ultra mode can be turned off. Cape-rigs can't.

Make it part of Ultra Mode then. |

of course, the hair would have to reflect everything, to keep up with Ultra Mode standards.
Quote:
That.... is not actually possible. Ultra mode is a shader/reflections upgrade. Cape-rigs are something entirely different. |

Theoretically, they could add an option to turn off capes, but that still wouldn't make it part of ultra mode.

*sigh* Fine, when activating Ultra Mode, add an algorithm that also turns 'hair' on or off. |

Gotta be so **** specific.

Why try and tie it to Ultra mode at all?
