Regarding hoods

[Kiwuu 17]

   So, i suppose most of you have seen the image of the new upcoming Hazmat Suit on Chris Torchia's twitter, and for those who didn't see it:

 

 

   First of all, goddamn, that thing is sexy. But it sparked something in my mind, regarding hoods in the game. I remember some time ago, when people asked and suggested the addition of the ability of putting the hood up on your hoodie/raincoat, and remind me if i'm wrong, people said that wouldn't be possible due to some clipping issues. Well, although there IS the possibility of this suit not being added in the game or removed afterwards due to some problems like that, it made me wonder if there is indeed a way to add hoods to the game, because i'm sure mostly everyone would like them being added.

 

   And to finish this post and all, i'd like to clarify that all of the information i said in the paragraph above, might be wrong due to my shitty memory. But even then, i'd love if someone could shed some light on this topic, since i love hoods in games of this nature.

if the hood is non-optional, they can simply add restrictions for cloting/headgear it doesn't work with.

like you couldn't use any vest with a down jacket because of clipping issues.

now for the jacket, i think it's not only problematic for the clipping issues, but also that you would need different models or movable parts for the jacket to make it work

   I see. So i presume this Hazmat suit is always going to have the hood up, then?

Unless they add a raise hood up/down option, yes

I think it's more likely it's a separate head piece.  Look at the way it's rendered, it seems pretty distinctly separate to me and that's the logical way they'd approach it since they don't want to do attached hoods.

I know the original discussion was about hoods, but it also made me think about shemaghs. The way i would like for them to add those is adding three options to use them. One around the neck, like a normal scarf, one covering the lower face like the bandanna we currently have in-game, and one covering the entire head, like the DayZ mod bandit skin. Would there be any critical issues there, like clipping and such? Because from my point of view, i don't see any issues since we have the bandanna, like i said, and the balaclava that covers all of the head.
