Tifa Shorter Hair

Tifa Hair Mod for Final Fantasy VII Remake

Version: 0. 7

Author: Normal Smithing

Overview

Revamp Tifa’s look with a completely new hair model featuring enhanced 4K textures. This file combines a custom Hair Mesh with Tifa's default fringe to retain her look. This mod used a custom tool, Normal Smithing, to bake highly accurate bent normal and ambient occlusion maps, resulting in great lighting and detail on the model.

Separate mods for both the Purple Dress and Standard Outfits.

Other Outfits and files that overwrite the Purple Dress or Standard Outfits won't be compatible with this mod.

Using with other Outfit Mods

As this mod will be incompatible with any other Tifa Outfit mods, I've put a tutorial up on my Github page (Porting the Hair Mesh to other Outfits) for anyone who wants to move this hair mesh onto their favourite Outfit mod. This can be done by anyone, users or mod creators.

Do not reupload or redistribute other mods without the mod authors permission.

Any issues just post on the Issue page on GitHub and I'll try and help!

As stated in the permission for this mod, anyone can uses this hair mesh in their mods as long as I am credited.
