Hair Card Generator – Usage Guide

Reduction Value

The Reduction Value controls how many hair particles are grouped together to form hair cards. Hair cards usually represent multiple hairs combined into a single card, so reducing the total number of particles is necessary for optimization.

• Lower reduction value → Converts most hair particles into individual cards
  (More cards, higher detail, heavier performance)

• Higher reduction value → Groups multiple hair particles into fewer cards
  (Fewer cards, better performance)

If your hair setup has a large number of hair particles, use a higher reduction value.
If your hair setup has fewer particles, use a lower reduction value.

Recommended:
An 80% reduction works well for most hairstyles and is usually sufficient to cover the head naturally. You can adjust this value based on your visual and performance needs.

Card Size

After generating the hair cards, you can control the Card Size directly from the panel.

• Increase the value to make hair cards wider and thicker

• Decrease the value for thinner, finer hair cards

This allows you to fine-tune the final look without regenerating the cards.
