Let’s load a hair mesh into Blender! Go to the [[Modding:Hair Meshes]] page and pick a mesh that you like. Take note of the Asset Name—that’s what it’s called in the game files. Open the Multitool and search the index for this Asset Name. It should have a .GR2 extension, e.g.  Hair_GTY_F_GithyankiCut_Short_A_Spring.GR2.
