Cm3d2.hair.v2 [2021] May 2026

Report: cm3d2.hair.v2

Prerequisites

Before touching any .hair.v2 mod, ensure you have:

1. CM3D2 version 1.51 or higher (preferably the latest 1.66+ patch).
2. Sybaris / BepInEx Unity injector installed.
3. CM3D2 Addon Plugin (by kusakusa) – This plugin rewrites the asset loading logic to prioritize v2 over v1.
4. COM3D2 API Bridge (if you are using COM3D2 with CM3D2 mods).

Clipping Through Breasts

Symptoms: Long hair clips unnaturally through the front of the maid outfit or body. Cause: V2 bones are colliding incorrectly. Fix: Install COM3D2.ColliderEditor. This plugin allows you to adjust the breast and shoulder collision boxes. You can also use the in-game "Edit Menu" (Shift + Ctrl + E) to manually adjust the "Hide" parameters, which mask the hair where it intersects the body. cm3d2.hair.v2

4. Functional Attributes

When loaded, cm3d2.hair.v2 enables:

• High Dynamic Range (HDR) Emission: Glow effects on magical/highlight strands.
• Alpha Mask Layering: Allows "hair strands over face" without z-fighting.
• IK Collision: Long hair can react to shoulder and back collisions (requires COM3D2 physics engine).
• Menu Integration: Appears in the in-game "Maid Edit" under "Front Hair," "Back Hair," or "Extension" depending on its slot definition.

2. Primary Context & Purpose

• Asset Type: Hair model data (likely a .menu file reference or a compiled .model archive).
• Function: Defines a 3D hairstyle model, including its mesh, bone weights, physics (for ponytails/bangs), and material/texture mappings.
• The "v2" Significance:
  • Indicates compatibility with the COM3D2 rendering pipeline (which uses a different shader system and bone structure than CM3D2).
  • Used by modders to mark assets ported from CM3D2 to COM3D2 or created natively for COM3D2.
  • Often found in mod pack directories (e.g., Mod/MyHair/), paired with files like texture.tex and hair_menu.bytes.

Step 4: Bake Bones (for physics)

• In the CM3D2Tool config, define bone chains: RootBone = "hair_pony_L".
• Generate the .bytes physics file.

Step 5: Pack and Distribute

• Folder structure: Mod/cm3d2.hair.v2/model/, Mod/cm3d2.hair.v2/texture/.
• Add a readme.txt with the Asset reference exactly: Asset = "cm3d2.hair.v2".
