Hoods

[smacku2b 41]

For clothing like Rain coats, hoodies, and gorka jackets, I'd like to see the option to put up the hood. just a right click option in the inventory or something. It's a simple idea, and would be cool to see.

A simple idea, That won't be implemented.

This has been spoken about before, And there would be major clipping issues, was the reason we were given, I believe.

I said this in a previous thread.

 

 

Did you play Arma2 with the character models that had hoods? The stretching wasn't that bad. As long as there's no decal on the hood there won't be any real nasty stretching look since it'd be a solid colour.

The model won't change when you turn your head ingame, but turn your head with a hood on right now and you'll notice there isn't much of a difference between in and out of game because the hood moves with your head anyway.

If they don't officially implement it, you can be sure someone will try (and probably achieve) making it for the game anyway as soon as we get the ability to create mods.

 

Already was mentioned a few times though, maybe use the search function next time?  ;)

I also thought it might be possible to include variants of different clothes, perhaps for example you could find a raincoat with an attached hood already raised at the cost of both a torso and a head slot. Just a thought

Rocket on hoods

 

 

I don't say this often, but it's virtually impossible.

1. Would require redoing all the hoodies so they have the texture/material for that purpose
2. The hoodie itself would be animated across discrete bones, which can look very ugly. More rigid body objects that spread across bones are not a problem (such as the skin) but soft bodies look very bad at the neck. This is why cloaks are a problem and jackets cannot extend below the waste.
3. Clipping would be a tremendous obstacle. The hood clip badly with helmets, or it would float above a naked head.

lol, I love that. "completely impossible." seems like other games got it right lol, along with cloaks and jackets that go below the waist. Just about every MMO game out there along with DMC, Elder Scrolls, fallout. lol Seems like an excuse to me. and to all the people, no I will not use the search function. They can merge my content themselves or lock me from forums, I don't care either way lol.
