Hair Tool is add-on for Blender that will help you generate hair-card, shell hair or curve hair in non destructive way, using geometry nodes and python.

• For ‘old’ Blender 3.3 up to 3.6 use ‘old’ Hair Tool. 2.46 (last version that supports ‘old’ curves) – use HairLib_18_12_2022 with it.

• 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
