    That looks stupid AF but it makes logical sense, it's not clipping, it's not a massive redesign and it's like one of the first styles we got when shared hair was implemented iirc. After that time the devs standards have gone way up and I'm 100% sure you wont find a newer shared hair style that looks that silly on that race.

    I mean, I could break down how wonky the form-n-function hair would look if they tried to redesign the it for viera without changing the core concept but I feel I wouldn't be saying anything new.
    I think their point was exactly that that style looks "stupid AF" on Miqo. And imo, some of the styles we got after that weren't really a step up. In texture quality, maybe, but some of them are still uuuuugly. Or just odd looking on some races/genders (imo).

    Idec if some of the hairs would look silly on Viera. I'd just like to have more than like, three options total that don't look terrible on my character.

    There's a reason I'm a cat again. This is it.

    Yeah, and you need to reread my post.

    There's a difference between looking stupid af but working and that form-n-function mod. That poster would have a point of the hair balls clipped through the ears ... but they don't. On a conceptional level it hair style works even though it looks goofy on this 1 race.
    I mean, tell me how the form-n-function hair would work without breaking the logic of the base design.

    From an aesthetic and design stand point that's the story for a good number of shared hairs seeing as none of them where designed with the thought of "how do we make this work with Viera ears sucking up 50% of the top of a character's skull". Sure, there's some that could clearly work ... form-n-function aint one. I don't even see a way to make it look stupid af yet logical. I could def see a Form-n-function inspired style though ... but it would be a complete redesign and at that point it's would just be a racial hair.

    And Form-n-function gets a lot of attention because for many it marks the moment when Hairs started really getting HQ for the most part.
