In this long braid hairstyle I return to using physics. These are the same braid templates found in the Bantu Knot style. Each braid is accompanied by a guide plane which helps handle the physics. As I mentioned before, the braids are denser than the other hair solutions since a braid insertmesh was used. However, steps were taken to reduce geo while maintaining shape.

The braids including their textures were made with zbrush. Textures were baked down from fibermesh strands down to the polygon braids using xNormal. The hair had to have physics appled separately for each sex.
