Earns its place for condensing hair transfer, transform application, origin matching and hair removal into single-click operations, all reachable from a pie menu shortcut.
Any Hair Any Mesh - Hair Utilities is a Blender addon built around transferring hair from one mesh to another in a single click, without artifacts. It groups several hair-related operations into one set of tools.
Transfer Hair copies all hairs from the active object to every selected object in one click, provided the origin and transform match. Apply Rot Scale applies the rotation and scale of a mesh carrying hair without destroying the grooms. Match Origin sets the pivot point of selected objects to the active object's origin, and Bald Head removes all hairs from selected objects. All features are reachable from a pie menu via Shift+Alt+q, with a second pie menu for particle editing brushes available in particle edit mode. Version 1.2 added the option to transfer only selected hair from the active mesh and to keep existing hairs when transferring.
The addon runs on Blender 2.93 through 3.2, ships with documentation, and is offered under a royalty-free license.
Any Hair Any Mesh - Hair Utilities is best for blender users transferring hair between meshes and handling groom-related tasks like applying transforms, matching origins and clearing hair.
Any Hair Any Mesh - Hair Utilities is completely free to download and use.
Any Hair Any Mesh - Hair Utilities supports Blender versions 2.93, 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2. If you are running one of these releases, the tools for transferring hair, applying rotation and scale, matching origins and removing hair should be available to you. For newer Blender releases, check the developer's page to confirm current compatibility before installing, as support beyond version 3.2 is not indicated in the listed versions here.
Any Hair Any Mesh - Hair Utilities makes all of its features available from a pie menu, opened with the shortcut Shift+Alt+q. From version 1.1 onward, this pie menu gathers the hair transfer, apply rotation and scale, match origin and bald head operations in one place. A second pie menu, dedicated to particle editing brushes, appears when you press the same Shift+Alt+q shortcut while in particle edit mode. Both menus keep the tools accessible through a single keyboard shortcut.
Any Hair Any Mesh - Hair Utilities' Transfer Hair tool copies all hairs from the active object to the selected objects in one click, and the developer notes that their origin and transform should match. Match Origin is a separate tool that sets the pivot point of selected objects to the active object's origin, so it can help align origins. Version 1.2 also added an option to keep existing hairs during a transfer, and that mode requires you to select one extra mesh to avoid artifacts.
Any Hair Any Mesh - Hair Utilities is listed as free in this catalog, and it is offered under a royalty-free license. Licensing and the versions offered by the creator can change over time, so the developer's page is the best place to confirm the current terms before you rely on it for a project. Checking there also lets you see which feature set applies to the option you choose, since the addon has been distributed in more than one version.
