OOT layered winter hair question

is this a mesh polygon model or a strand based model?

Gordig

This isn't conclusive, but the readme specifies that it includes maps that strand-based hair generally doesn't need, including what might be opacity maps for the hair (listed as style masks). Personally, it also just looks polygonal to me, and OoT only recently started creating SBH and make it VERY clear when they do.

Yes as Gordig said ~ And some tricks to identify a polygonal / transmapped / hair cards rather than an SBH ~

- on the product page of a hair, if you can see some words like blending, alpha... 99%+ it's not an SBH

- and if it says there're many morphs made on the hair, like this one, 237 morphs, it's 100% not an SBH but polygonal, as no one makes so many morphs on an SBH 'cause there'll be tremendously and tediously lots of workload. Normally, on an SBH, finding 30 ~ 50 morphs is already a very lucky thing.

Yes, it is polygonal - but it does include some modelled strands
