Will we ever get the tech to make hair and headgear work together in games?

@snacks what's the point of choosing a cool anime hairstyle if it doesn't show through headwear?

@eal my biggest issue is that it's really hard to make arbitrary headger work with arbitrary hair so many games just make characters look bald with headger

@snacks I was thinking of hair clipping through helmets

@eal yeah, that's ususally the other option

@snacks @eal i feel like the best option would be to just... come up with a default hairstyle that shows but doesnt clip

@coolbean @eal i actually dunno how modern games do this, i'd guess every headger just has some mask in which region to not show hair or smth?

@snacks @eal or you could go the mordhau route (at release anyway) and do some z-buffer shenanigans where the helmet and environment are always drawn over the hair and body

@snacks Yes - it's called drawing the sprite or 3D model for each pair of hair and headgear (nobody bothers as it takes too long).
