Mod Request. Hairstyles.

[Kolljak]

There is a suprising lack of hair styles in game and even less in the modding community.
is it that hard to mod? i have know knowledge of modding i figured it could be done by porting over old hair files from diffrent games resizing them in Texture Blender. and applying them.

Im hoping modders will start making hair mods because all the ones in game are meh.

[Helldriver o7]

It can be done sure, but the hairstyle are rigged to their proper armature that correspond to a clone of the human skeleton model (same for helmet). Wich is a pain when you try to make your proper own race model. Some hairstyles are textured meshes and other are skin texture (shaved/ mi-blad like)

Yeah it should be cool to have more hairstyles for sure if you are in i can be part of to help with my humble blender skill

[Kolljak]

I would love to see hairstyles similar to that of the skyrim mod below apachisky.

anywho i just find it odd that your in a baren wasteland and everyone has buzzcuts and short hair.

There must be some sort of stealthy hair assassin going around cutting peoples hair in their sleep.

I can think of a certain moderator who would be ecstatic for some new hairstyles. ;)

[Helldriver o7]

There no animations for the hairs (floating though the air) in kenshi so they are fixed rigged to the head. (nvidia has some physiX for them but the game dont use it)
What did you suggest Kolljak? I don't want to rip the other modders's work but we can found some inspirations in!
I've noticed there are some old hairstyle mesh (afro like) that are not used in the game but left in the gamefile.

[Kolljak]

Copying hairstyles isnt ripping because there are only so many hairstyles. and im sure so long as you give credit to the original maker of said mesh and dont get donations or money for it, she wont mind. its called Share Useragreement for freeuse. or something like that. its an agreement contract most modders use for anti theft which states u can use so long as whats above [the no money and creditation] is given.

as for PhysX is concerned i dont care if they sway. vanilla ones dont. the faces dont even blink. or close their eyes when unconsious so its not really a problem.

wouldnt mind seeing the afro return tho. my BOB ROSS character would be complete.

Gimi a second ill go find that fair use thing.

Essential you would have to say.

This mod is a port of the ApachiSky Hair mod of skyrim created by appachiSky.

Models where rigged in a fasion to work with Kenshi Game Hardware.

then a link to HER liscense / modpage [being Nexus]

then at bottom you must put unless otherwise stated.

I am not endorsed by or endorsing ApachiSky all works are mearly a port. ect may require more work and i may have missed some things.

[Kolljak]

Apachisky would have to be replaced by where ever u got your hairs from. as for multiples you would have to put a , and their name with the others.

Apachisky, Bethsda, Obsidian ect

Okay that's cool, however i've ideas for new hairstyles we need proper punk iroquois!: http://d3d.sesseler.de/store/clothes/iroquois/thumb.jpg
You can also google pict it with the keys "punk hairstyle 90's"

[Kolljak]

when u said 90's the only think i could think of was Initial D Running in the 90's. :( im sorry i had to go there.

Punk hairstyles
Long Hairstyles
Buzz Cuts are pretty much all ingame already.
Dreadlocks Varients
Pony Tails [Front and back]

all would need to be able to work with slave system involving Buzzcuts.

also would love to see a barber ingame that only does hair instead of paying 2k for rogain hair growth.

Np we can add some japanese drift cars with wierd anime faces and Eurobeat songs to make burning the night! YEAH! Sorry.

Edit: and what about new beards? Np with the slaver buzzcuts that remove the the hair mesh anyways so its should work
We can also think about bi-colored hair style version (degrading the texture in two tone light/dark) but kinda hard to implement real 2 coulours at the same time that use the ingameeditor colored engine.
Japanese/chinese hairstyles with traditional ones could be cool too

[Kolljak]

Beards are pretty good maybe some raggity beards. big long ones. ZZtop Beards :D i mean im not a big beard fan. and there is a pretty huge assortment ingame. maybe someday we will see viking braded beards.

Two colors would be hard. since there is only one hair color slider.

[nex]

+1 for more hairstyles.. although i realize this would be classed as a luxury-feature since we already have a bunch..

[Tommygun]

I'd be happy with a few Orc style top knots and a couple of twin ponytails.
I think this game could use a psycho Harlequin or two.
