A Final Plea to Frontier for Longer Hairstyles

I remember a TV program about digital character creation for movies, and I seem to remember it saying that animating long hair realistically was one of the top problems they had to overcome.

You could say it is among the top 1% of all animation problems out there :)
 
Might as well be.
Got people wanting to be furries also.

not sure if I mess this up with another space game, but wasn't it also elite who had description so the systems and the races that inhabit it? there were soem with fur also. Or was that X or any other, damn my memories so old, so much messed up and forgotten.
 
Indeed, there are ways to tie long hair so it neither goes everywhere in zero-g nor clips. We see some ponytails in the video; I'm hoping there will be more, including tie-up styles.

Though personally, whichever gender I decide on for my character they're going to have to be some variety of David Bowie, and probably in Thin White Duke mode.

Glasses would be good for options, as I see someone raised (sorry, missed who) but then in a game where I regularly rain massive heat death on ships, the idea of laser eye surgery must be pretty common.

Yeah....aint that the truth.
Put the weapons grade memes away. You had some laughs but now you're skirting a little too close to belittling someone on a personal level. That's how she feels.

Three simple options:
- Show empathy [earn paragon points]
- Be a big boy and deal with it.
- Ignore and move on.

The renegade option for this interaction earns you negative forum social points and possibly a ban hammer. Choose wisely.

For the zero G thing: most simple solution would be a pony tail style with magnetic hairtie, that would keep the hair together and in palce when the magnet attaches to the suit.

on the other side we needs long hair substitudes so that people like Op know the long hair is at their character, yet not visible because of (im)practical reasons.

stuff like

Probably Final Fantasy where the main character had 60,000 individually animated strands of hair, I don't believe anyone is asking for that kind of detail.
 
Not that difficult to implement nice looking long hair, as I stated earlier in thread, attach the hair bone to the shoulder bone, problem solved, no clipping or technical issues.

In that video, the hair remains almost unmoved, laying on the shoulders ..... so that should be feasible without too much programming, bearing in mind the limited ED environment in which we see ourselves. [yesnod]
 
Momoka, you beautiful person you......are you seriously going to continue after Ed responded to your thread and gave you an answer from the devs within 24 hours? And on top of that expect FD to change the game to help you deal with your real life identity issues? By making LonghairTM an option? In a game?
Dude are you for real right now? You're seriously going to attempt online bullying and harrassment?

Jeez.... enjoy the ban hammer man

Flimley has a worse problem ... he has a long flowing beard also !

Pretty much going to say what the vast majority of us are thinking right now.

Wind your neck in, will you?

You are correct. There was a feline species and reptilian if I recall right.

BUT. The pilots federation is human in design. You won't see any aliens there, flying the ships we do I think.

I can see the value of adding buns or up hair styles for those that need it. Simple to model and a decent middle ground.


I want a beard. Will I get one. Doubtful. My character will simple have shorter facial hair than I would like. Actually there's a solid chance helmet full time if it looks good enough

That this thread is now 45 pages long makes me lose a little more hope for humanity, and here I am contributing to its decline. [blah]
