📋 About This Mod
This version will replace Hair #24, the braided hairstyle. If you want this hair as a new/standalone style, please see the alternate version of this mod here.
The design is based off of Erza Scarlet from the anime Fairy Tail. My goal with this was to make a "realistic" version of that style but using Elden Rings default hair materials and physics. The hair towards the back I made from scratch. Custom UV mapped and rigged to work nicely with the game. This Hairstyle was designed to adapt to multiple armor sizes and even works with most helmets! Clipping should be minimal.
Updates:
2. 0 hair adapts to different armor sizes
2. 1 fixes the earrings to have the proper metal material
2. 2 includes LODs now, Hair will be visible at a distance now
2. 3 Added more compatibility for headbands and helmets
3. 0 Compatibility with Ray Tracing
Also big thanks to ZLOHORT for helping me to get the physics working. Couldn't have made this work without their help!
Installation:
1. Open your Modengine2 folder
2. Drag and drop the all .dcx files inside mod\parts folder.
3. Run the game.
