Character no shadow from body and shadow flicker

ok I seem to be answering my own questions here. I did a ton of forum/hub browsing and there’s literally no way to do hair right now, correct?? wtf?
please correct me if I’m wrong, but I read that shader masking only takes values of either 0 or 1, translucency doesn’t work because of depth sorting issues and neither tressFX nor hairworks are currently implemented.
whaaaaat ? like really? :confused:
