I'll add a poll for the lulz.
You can't make 2D renders 3D with texmod...

The OP is only using the peripheral vision as a joke. He is simply unhappy with how Anet cut corners and reduced the polgyon count of that specific Paragon hair style. Rather than render the bangs as 3D objects they rendered them as 2D. Thus when you angle the camera just right, it appears as if one of the bangs "vanished". Many 2D objects in the GW world are modeled to create the "illusionary" look of 3D. For example ropes, they are simply two flat panels, if you were to view a rope in GW from a vertical perspective it would appear as a +. A criss cross of the two flat textures streaming downward.

No, but with Texmod, I could cut those ridiculous locks out completely.
Also, thank you for understanding!

lol no.

Should have*

Also: There's only 2 or 3 male paragon hair styles that don't collide with the emblem in someway; I chose my favourite of these (which happens to be my favourite of all of them).

peripheral vision...you are aware its a toon..

but if it is a huge problem for your fantasy..why not just get one of the following..

1. Mask of the Mo Zing
2. Dread Mask
3. Bandana

they would be a huge improvement on your chars head..

Nevin's got the idea. Look past tracco's sarcasm and lighten up, maybe?

Whilst I don't have a male paragon (and wouldn't choose that hairstyle ), I guess I do wish they'd iron out all the odd hair glitches. Doubtful though, sorry Patty-cake.

Just go squat in a body of water with him, and fuel your rage at Anet over your characters' see-through head. Heh heh.

Yeah, I like how the eye patch is over the aiming eye.

Funny, I was actually thinking about that myself when I read the OP.
