I'm not the best with 3D models, but I will do my best. Will be glad to work with a real 3D modeler if you have models you would like to add to this mod.

Instructions:

Simply copy the mod files into your LogicMods folder for details in Mod Config Menu.

Or if only wanting the functionality of this mod, copy the pak file to your Mods folder.

Add in more additions of hairstyles based on Naruto Series (Currently have 3D models for this that need re-scaling)

Create Yuna style of Hair per request

Create Afro, Dreads, Mohawk, Spikey Hair, Balding, per request.

Create additional Feminine Hair such as Blade and Soul per request.

For Developers

Please do your normal steps as seen for a simple Model Swap before continuing with these steps.

Custom Slots 1 - 4 have been added in this mod. More will be added upon request.

Step 1 - 3D Skeletal Mesh

As with a model swap you will have a Skeletal Mesh which is the Hair model

Name this file as SK_Player_cHair00X where X is the slot number and place in the respective folder:

Content\Mods\CustomHairs\cHairs00X (where X is the slot number)

Example: Content\Mods\CustomHairs\cHairs001\SK_Player_cHair001

Step 2 - Hair Icon for Character Creator

Upload the 256 x 256 PNG icon to the same folder as cHairs00X where X is the slot number

Example: Content\Mods\CustomHairs\cHairs001\cHairs001

Step 3 - Common Skeletal Mesh Settings

I typically will open the Skeletal Mesh and these:

- Uncheck "Cast Shadows" on each material

- Uncheck "Recompute Normals"

- Uncheck "Use MikkTSpace Tangent Space"

- Set Normal Import Method to "Import Normals"

- Set Normal Generation Method to "Built In"

Step 4 - Static Materials and Textures

Add any of your Materials, Textures, or Material Instances to be under the same folder structure

Content\Mods\CustomHairs\cHairs001\Textures\T_DavidHairs_Hair001

Content\Mods\CustomHairs\cHairs001\Materials\M_DavidHair

Content\Mods\CustomHairs\cHairs001\Materials\MI_DavidHair001

Step 5 - Custom Hair Color

To make the Hair Color adjustable in game via the Character Creator.

Simply open the Skeletal Mesh and change the "Slot Name" of the material used for the hair to MS_hair

Now that specific material will be found to adjust the hue slider for it.

Step 6 - Customizable Hair Material Instance

To set the materials and textures up to be modified please keep these options in mind:

Create your texture for the hair where the main Hex Color is close to DD4F21

- All colors contained within the texture will be changed with the Hue Slider

Create a dummy material that you won't include in your mod at Content\Pal\Material\Character\Common\M_Custom_Hair

And add these parameters:

Texture Parameter named: Base Texture

Texture Parameter named: BaseColor Mask

Texture Parameter named: Normal Map

Vector Parameter named: BaseColor

(Spelling and parameter type if very important here)

Create a dummy material instance that you won't include in your mod at Content\Pal\Material\Character\Common\MI_PalLit_CharacterBodyBase

And set the Parent of this instanced material to the M_Custom_Hair dummy material

Now create your Material Instance that has the MI_PalLit_CharacterBodyBase dummy material instance set as the parent

Set the Base Texture to your texture as this is the most important texture.

You can also set the BaseColor Mask or Normal Map if you have textures for the respective options. If not leave them blank and unchecked.

I typically name my material instance to start with MI_

Example: MI_DavidHair001

Step 7 - Package and Test

With all the options set above you can now package the project and will want to name it to start with a z and end with _P

Example: zDavidHairModels_P.pak
