Collection of tools which simplify the process of placing hair cards on hair guides in Blender
Features:
Fibermesh Converter
Converts a Fibermesh object exported from ZBrush into individual curve objects, which can then be used as hair guides in Blender.
Sort Hair by Length
Sorts the selected hair cards and hair guides into 2-10 collections based on their length, and appends the length range of the objects within each collection to the collection name.
Place Cards on Guides
Uses a randomization seed chosen by the user to randomly pick variations of hair cards sorted by length, and places linked duplicates of the cards on hair guides with matching lengths. Scales each hair card to exactly match the length of the hair guide it is assigned to. Using the same randomization seed with the same object selection produces an identical result, while changing the seed value allows for creating variations.
Global Hair Card Modifiers
Modifiers which allow the user to adjust the placement and scale of all placed hair cards simultaneously. The adjustments are applied live, for interactive editing.
Individual Hair Card Modifiers
Modifiers which allow the user to adjust the placement and scale of each individual hair card separately. Also includes an option to edit the properties of the specific hair guide assigned to the selected hair card. Each individual curve point can be edited, which is useful for fine adjustments, such as rotating the hair card along the length of the curve by changing the tilt value. Proportional editing is enabled by default.
Blender Version Compatibility:
The add-on was developed for Blender 4.5 LTS, but has been tested and confirmed to work with Blender 3.0.0. Therefore, I assume the add-on is also compatible with every other version in between.
