    This has vene updated for blender 5, and the author has added baking features for normals etc. I'm quite pleased with it. Easy to use and cost effective.

    awesome add-on! It makes creating hair cards much faster and more enjoyable. the interface is clean, the workflow is straightforward, and the amount of control you get over the hair is impressive. the developer keeps improving it with frequent updates, which makes it an even better investment. definitely recommended for anyone creating game-ready characters in blender.

    Immature tool. It’s usable, but it falls short of what you’d expect from a dedicated hair card texture solution. The editing tools are reasonable and can produce passable visual results, but support for different card layouts is inexistent. The same applies to the baking features: there’s no proper support for normals, depth, ambient occlusion, flow map, let alone strand IDs. As a result, much of the work still has to be done manually, which largely defeats the purpose of using a specialized tool in the first place. Hopefully future versions will address these omissions, at which point it may become well worth the money.

      Hello Hugues, Thanks for the review and your suggestions :) I'll try to incorporate baking tools in the future updates, for now i recommend customers to use free online tools like "NormalMap-Online
      " to generate the extra maps from the rendered haircard which only takes few seconds and has customization.

    The author needs to update this add-on to be fully compatible with Blender 5. As it stands right now, the clumping feature and the messiness/roughness features are not working and can cause Blender to crash.

    Apart from that, the add-on saves a good amount of time when setting up basic hair cards, but it’s missing core functionalities. These include assigning color variations to random hairs within a strand to achieve effects like gray hairs (currently, you need to overlap an additional strand, assign it a different color, and place it on top of a denser strand), baking texture maps, and rotating hair strands. At the moment, you can only create hair strands that start at the -Z axis and end at the +Z axis, which is a very limiting constraint and an important feature in many studio workflows.

    If the author adds the missing core functionality, this could be a very solid add-on.
