as you may know, normal haircut, is probably the longest haircut in the game (length downwards unlike the Mohawk). Would it at all be possible to make this longer? For example, around the length of some of the band members from Blind Guardian, if we could get it around that length of past the shoulders or half way down the back then it would be master.
my main question/request is, is it possible? and to also make it move around and stuff when you run in fable, if all this is, could someone write a brief guide on how-to do it.
Thanks
Ben

| Open normal hair mesh entry in FE, export. Load up mesh in 3DS/other program. Select all vertices except for the top roundish bit, duplicate, move it a bit lower and whatnot, and repeat. You can make it so it would look like wildly flowing holy-crap orgasmic just-like-the-herbal-essences commercial hair if it were dynamic still, but it won't be, it will be static, so it will clip through the Hero, look just plain awful, and it won't flow in the wind. It's like wearing a two-ton wig.
People have experimented with other possibilities, this was one of the things thrown around.
If someone would throw support in FE for dynamic/animated/collision meshes, that would open up a lot of creativity.

If you want to find a guide, first find out which app you like best. 3DS, Maya, Blender, others, all of them do the same thing but you'll find each very different. Get accustomed to one of them, then look for guides for that particular app.

open graphics.big with a hex editor and find the mesh, then I'm not sure, but take a look at the format, it's somewhere in the wiki
