Free-flowing hair

So my friend Daeke thought of this one--hairstyles in Mabi are static. They always stay in the same position, no matter what. They clip through clothes and weapons, and no matter the weather--wet, dry, hot, cold, or windy--hair in the game ALWAYS looks like someone used way too much hairspray. So her idea was to make hair in the game react to the weather like hair in real life. (I.E. It would get slightly darker in the rain and reflect a bit more because it's "wet," it would flow in the wind, it would have actual physics, etc.)
  1. Do you think hair in Mabi could be improved, functionality-wise?23 votes
    1. Yes! Let my hair flow magnificently in the wind!

    2. NO! I like looking like I used a gallon of hairspray!

    I am not even sure this is possible, especially on a large scale. Few outfits have this, and I can only think of the SAO gear. Vindictus has it because their engine is Source by Valve. The more realistic verson would seem to be additional hairstyles having this built in and be toggable.

    With Mabi's current graphics, I dont think this would look nearly as appealing as one might think..

    Or allow for much game stability.

    there are some transformations that have moving hair like Merrow or Tia transformation.

    This has been suggested before. Ultimately there are no physics in the game that would allow that because the game very old. However, hair can be animated and animations can be triggered during idle animations, running, walking, and perhaps combat. It would simulate the physics basically.

    a simple Ncloth physics on the hair probably wouldn't be impossible and I think it'd be nice to have. But I highly doubt they'd implement such a thing when they can't even fix the problems that are already plaguing Mabi.
    Sorry, I didn't mean to be so negative about this. orz
    I just suddenly felt like ranting a bit.

    But yes this would be nice to have for sure ^^

    Not to mention that the Anju wig can move slightly. So it's very much so possible.

    You probably guys didn't notice that Eirlys have animation that include her hair having more realistic physics and such. I didn't notice that at first, but someone pointed that out months ago and now i kinda want to have something like this.

    Full-on physics might be much but I could see animated hair. What I'd like is more clothing/hair animation for when you move or attack. The SAO outfits move when you run around and stuff which is pretty cool, they could apply something like that to clothes(probably only new clothes) and hairs.

    Yes please! I can't have a certain hair/wig with a certain animated outfit because my hair goes right through my body.
    Auuugh, you have no idea how irritating that is. >_<

    Even just small steps to combat the clipping and such would be nice. Fully changing everything would be a bit much of course. Let them take some baby steps.
