A. The Shift to Component-Based Architecture

The most critical change in the V2 update is the move away from monolithic hair models. In the previous iteration (and vanilla game assets), hair was often a single, static mesh attached to the head bone.

V2 Improvements:

• Modular Segmentation: Hair is now divided into distinct modules (Front, Side, Back, Ahoge/bangs, Accessories). This allows players to mix and match parts from different hair sets, exponentially increasing customization options.
• Independent Bone Weighting: Each module possesses its own bone structure. This allows for individual movement—side bangs can sway independently from the back hair, creating a more natural silhouette during animations.

What’s next? Look for the "V3" prototypes that utilize GPU-based physics for 100+ individual hair strands. But for now, the v2 upd remains the gold standard for stability and features.
