Helmet Hairs

Helmet hair is determined by the "HairType" value in the _merged.lsf

The 3D meshes for helmet hairs can be found in Models\Generated\Public\Shared\Assets\Characters\_Models\_Hair\Helmet_Hair\Resources

The _merged.lsf for helmet hairs can be found in Shared\Public\Shared\Content\Assets\Characters\[PAK]_Helmet_Hair

Note that there is no mesh or _merged entry for value 0. A hairstyle with a "0" HairType will only show the scalp, rather than a helmet hair.

Vertex Paint Colours for Hairs/Beards

Must be Face Corner > Byte Color when creating a new vertex paint colour attribute

Black = Base hair (no highlights)

Red (#FF0000) = graying

Blue (#0000FF) = highlights

Green (#00FF00/#17FF00/#2B6620) = thickness

Greying is determined by the texture not the vertex colours.

Every shade inbetween determines the intensity of said parameters when applied to strands, including the shades between two parameters.

For example: Setting a strand to just blue (#0000FF) will allow for highlights but not for graying, but choosing a color between blue and red (like hot pink #FF00FF) will allow that strand to take both highlights and graying. The darker you make your color, the less intense any parameter attached to the shade becomes.


Using both the examples below showing in blender and in game:

Vertex colour 01.webp Vertex colour 02.webp


To stop your hair thinning, use #17FF00 or #2B6620 (mix between graying and thickness) for the underside or by duplicating your mesh, shrinking it inside the original and painting that this colour of green. Alternatively, you can solidify your mesh with the settings below or similar and separate them once applied.

Here is an example of the hair before, and the hair after duplicating the mesh, shrinking and painting the inside green.
