== When to use three or more meshes for autosnapping Hairs ==


As this generally comes up once you have tested one hair mesh in game, this is explained under the above sections. So do you notice your hair doesn't work quite right for the shorter bodyshapes? Or maybe you made it for Dwarves and it doesn't look quite right on the taller bodyshapes.
