Three main ways to generate hair-cards with Hair Tool:

using guide mesh (grid surface)

using particle hair interactive grooming

by drawing hair strands (similar to Grease Pencil drawing)

Some of the features:

  • Automated UV workflow (random uv region assignment per hair strand)
  • Texture preview directly on curve ribbons
  • Curve modeling tools (extend, shorten, cut, move hair with IK physics)
  • Hair library
  • Go back and forth between curve and mesh ribbons
  • Adjust ribbons profile (tapering radius, randomizing tilt, editing profile etc.)
  • Convert: Curves to Particle Hair, Particle Hair to Curve ribbons, Curve ribbons to mesh ribbons and so on.
  • Curve resampling and decimation (increase/decrease curve/ribbon points count)
  • Generating vertex color/weights gradients, transferring UVs and vertex weights from character to mesh haircards.
  • Texture baking (from curves or particle hair; supports: normal, ao, diffuse, tangent maps, ID maps, root map etc)
  • Build-in addon auto-updater
  • and more
