Tweaked Bun (HF EF DF)

I've been experimenting with Blender a bit lately and came up with this. It replaces the vanilla bun, so the change will affect all NPCs who sport that hairdo (e.g. Anora, Dagna, etc.). I've tried to make it available to dwarves and elves, but since I'm not fully satisfied with my porting attempts yet, it's only for humans at the moment.

I'm a noob so it's far from perfect:

• []The texture looks a bit wonky in some areas (the "fringe", mostly) and I haven't been able to fix it completely (yet).

  []I did my best to keep clipping to a minimum, but you'll have to move the ear sliders a bit if you don't want the hair to clip through the ears. While the EF version generally looks okay in that department, preset #3 requires some fiddling with the ear position slider to prevent the hair from clipping oddly through the head (wtf).

  []Due to some weird clipping issue in the nape of the neck that I've only just noticed, the HF version looks best with face shapes #1, 4, 5 and 6. Similarly, the DF version doesn't look great with face shape #3.

  []The shorter strand on the forehead sometimes seems to behave a little bit oddly when your PC talks/moves. It doesn't bother me that much so I kept it, but if this is a deal breaker for you (or if you think that one strand just looks silly), I could get rid of it and upload an alternative version. I haven't noticed any other such issues, but I have only played through the prologue with this mod enabled, so... here's to hoping it's the only one .

  I should probably warn you that I've slightly tweaked a couple of vertices since I took most of my screenshots. The differences are barely noticeable, but the final version can be seen on the last 3 images.

  Anyway, I hope you'll like it!

  Requirements
  • []Patch 8 or higher

    []Ultra mesh settings (otherwise you will still see the vanilla bun)

    []DAI Mod Manager (you'll need to go there to get it)

    Installation

    Open the .zip file, drop the .daimod file into your mod directory and install with the DAI Mod Manager. More detailed instructions can be found here.

    To uninstall, delete the .daimod file from said directory and merge again with the DAI Mod Manager.

    Compatibility notes and known issues

    HF version

    []Obviously not compatible with mods that replace the HF version of the vanilla bun.

    [*]From what I've read, hair mods that replace the HF version of the bun model don't work correctly in Trespasser. My mod may not work correctly in Jaws of Hakkon either.
