Hair Tool v4.0.2 for Blender: Hair Tool is an addon to Blender. The Hair Tool is an addon for Blender that will allow you to create hair cards based on 3D curves in a non-destructive way.
Compatibility List:
- Hair Tool 2.41 for Blender 3.3 and above
- Hair Tool 2.39 - - from Blender 2.93 to 3.3
There are many ways to create hair cards using the Hair Tool:
- Hair System - procedural hair creation based on Geometry Nodes (new from Dec 2022)
- by using guides using guide mesh (grid the surface)
- using particle hair interactive grooming
- through drawing hair by drawing hair strands (similar to Grease Pencil drawing)
- Utilizing the short-hair modeling using short hair modeling (new - based off geocodes only works on Blender 3.3 and up)

- Convert Curves to Particle Hair, Particle to Curve ribbons, and Curve ribbons to mesh ribbons and other such things.
- Decimation and resampling of curves (increases/decreases point count of the curve)
- creating vertex color/weights gradients, transferring Vertex weights and UVs from the character to mesh hair cards.
- The baking of texture using curls, particles made of Geometry Nodes hair and supports normal Ao, diffuse ID, tangent maps, etc.
