1) Find it.
2) Contain it.
3) Kill it slowly and painfully, because Miko is really quite irked at this situation and would happily spend quite a bit of time with the person responsible explaining in excruciating detail why it was not a good idea to annoy her.
I first noticed this in comic #2994/2015-03-12.
What you are seeing is a shadow line. Miko’s hair was originally made for the Victoria 3 model, and she is currently built on the Victoria 4 model. With scaling and sizing, I can get her hair to match the shape of the models skull with about 99% accuracy. The only piece that isn’t working is a tiny bit of transparency mapping that is right at the front of her hairline, and casts a very slight shadow. In real world terms, it would be like the very front of her hairline was a 1/4 centimeter above her scalp in just that one location. I’ve tried solutions, but her head is custom shaped just to match her original appearance as close as possible and it causes issues. One possible solution would be to turn off the object (her hair) being able to cast shadows…but her hair is all one object, and it would cause her hair not to cast shadows on any other object.
In the end, I just put up with it because that’s Miko’s hairstyle and I haven’t felt like going through the hours and hours it would take to find something I can twist and scale enough to get to of the 1/4 centimeter.
