Name of meshes by index

These names correspond to the mesh files.

To find a hair's control files, check the next section: Hair: Control files by index

Many hairs have different meshes if cyberware_01 is used. In this case, the alternative file name will be given in italics.

All the files below can be found under the following subfolder:

base\characters\common\hair\<hair name default variant>\<hair name as given>.mesh

To quickly find physics-enabled hair, you can use the Wolvenkit Search with the following query:

base\characters\common\hair > .animgraph > _wa_ // female body gender
base\characters\common\hair > .animgraph > _ma_ // male body gender

Hair: Control files by index

Hairs and all their components are assigned and defined via .app and .ent files. You can find them in the following folder:

base\characters\head\player_base_heads\appearances\entity\hairs 

How to find these files?

The last number in the file name matches the first number in the .mesh file name:

e.g., if you wanted to edit the entity file for female V's hair 28 hh_083_wa__ponytail_01, you could search for

player_base_heads > hairs > hairs_083

or

hairs_083 > .app > .pwa
