Akuba's Salon - Black Hair for Conan Exiles Part 9

This is hair 9 of the series of 10 black hairstyles made available to players in the Akuba's Salon mod for Conan Exiles sponsored by Terrornaut. The mod can be found here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1938818750

This style uses the same resources as the longbraid style for the braids (Textures and guide planes). The texture was made using zbrush fibermesh and baked to the braid geometry with xNormal. The scalp textures are simple strips of polygons with a fibermesh texture applied to them. Physics had to be applied to separate hair groups to address the Maya APEX plugin's bugs regarding latch layers.
As mentioned in previous postings, Conan Exiles runs on Unreal Engine 4.15, so modders do not have access to the newer in-engine cloth/hair physics solutions and must use the deprecated Nvidia APEX.

The unreal material being used to display the hairs displays the braids nicely, but finding the right tangents to display the scalp textures has been a bit of a challenge. This should hopefully be addressed in a future update.
