It actually does though. The unwrapped texture of a male character model’s face is vastly different from a female character model. The polygons themselves are totally different. My point is that you can’t simply take a female lipstick texture and slap it on a male face texture and expect it to fit as is. It simply wont, the polygon mapping is too different. A completely new detail texture needs to be created based on the male face model topology. The UV coordinates just won’t match as is like you are describing.
Hairstyle changes, are a different circumstance entirely. And it’s not so much the ‘skull shape’ that prevents this.
A hair object applied is applied to a character model, BUT, the polygon ‘reshaping’ comes in two completely separate flavors.
Character models in games basically have what are called blendshapes, or “morphs”. Essentially the sliders that change all the structure features of a character model. Tall, thin, Thicc, extra thicc, etc etc etc. Each one of these individual changes you make on a slider when you create a character are basically modifying the weight value of a specific blendshape and it’s application to the skinned mesh renderer on a character.
For example. If you’re making a female character, and want big gazongas. A blendshape morph is basically a “mesh modifier” where a float value of 0.0 gives you itty bitty’s, and a 1.0 gives you, well… Max size. This morph, plus every other morph that makes up the character body structure exists in two forms. Both on the character model itself, and also baked into every piece of clothing (and even hair) so that a piece of clothing will look correct regardless of the slider settings. Even a hairstyle will be affected by these partial body morphs or full body morphs. As would lipstick.
Put it this way. If CCP wanted to include a single body morph that let players have a Total Recall triple set of sweater puppies, they would LITERALLY have to re-export -EVERY-SINGLE-CLOTHING-ITEM- for a female character, so that the clothing model has the same TotalRecall Morph as the character model does. The Morph is basically a set of instructions that says -how- to deform a mesh based on the weight value (the value you set on a char creator slider). THE EXACT SAME CONCEPT goes for literally any other physical feature you’d want to alter on a character.
Hair is an absolute -nightmare- when it comes to 3d modeling, both in making it look good -and- keeping it from burning your GPU at the same time. A lot of times hair objects have a bone rig associated with them to give them a “flowy” look, or so it doesn’t just sit flat.
Hair
IS
A
NIGHTMARE
For 3D modelers. Like. You have -no- idea how bad it can be.
I’m not putting words in your mouth, I’m explaining in high level technical detail why your assumptions are technologically false.
So your definition of being more powerful in an argument is to make fun of them to someone else, while refusing to include them in a conversation. Are you in Middle School? Like… That is stupid mean girl shite…
Quite frankly you aren’t doing anything more than making assumptions an accusations about “Crappy Conservative” this or “Oh I’m making fun of this person and not including them”
If you don’t want to have a debate on a topic, then don’t bring it up. And if YOU DO actually want to have a debate, then take your “crappy conservative” labeling devices and leave them where they belong, In a dumpster.
You want to talk. Then talk. You want to ignore the opinions of others because, then go ignore them somewhere else.
Do you really want to keep baiting this bs harder? You are literally instigating someone to say something and framing yourself with an overused victim card. “act like never heard a queer talk” Are you really that daft? No, it’s the exact opposite. People are tired of hearing about the politics being brought into video games.
Do not act like you didn’t start this discussion with thinly veiled contempt for political factions. Nobody gives a ■■■■ what “affiliation” you belong to because it’s not relevant. If you want to talk politics, then I suggest you go to the IGS forums and complain about how the President Mushroom Stamp is corrupt or something. Those are LITERALLY the only politics that belong in this game. PERIOD.
At this point …
You are literally attempting to -frame- the discussion in a light that paints you as a victim of a big bad meanie conservative. You’re so far from the mark it’s not even registering.
Your bait is horrible, your argument is flawed.
Also… A Bread Container is something that contains bread.
But I think you and I both already know that… Don’t you?
Bread Container… Wonder where I’ve heard that before…
So, I will concede this point.
