Its mesh-to-hair feature is inspired by work from Abir "Xeofrios" Dutta, and part of the add-on includes code from Antti Tikka's Modifier List add-on.
Gbh Tool is a Blender add-on by Gixo for creating hair, built on the new Blender hair system. It takes a curve, curves, or mesh object as the base for a hair object, with fast generation and property editing in just a few clicks. It can produce several types of hair, including hair strands, stylized hair mesh, and hair cards for video games, along with braids, curls, and rolls.
Hair distribution across surfaces is handled through vertex colors, and the add-on offers full UV map control, either uniform or separated by length. Hair can be converted to mesh, curve, curves, or a particle system for further operations. A library of pre-made node groups and sample materials is included, and you can load node groups and materials from your own files into the library.
Additional functions cover hair rigging with automatic weight painting and hair card texture creation. The add-on is a Blender Extension and is distributed under the GPL-2.0-or-later license.
Gbh Tool is best for blender artists creating hair strands, stylized hair, and game-ready hair cards for 3D characters.
Gbh Tool is completely free to download and use.
Gbh Tool requires Blender 4.2.x or later. It is listed as a Blender Extension and is compatible with Blender versions 4.2 through 4.4. Because it is built on the new Blender hair system, it depends on features present in these recent releases, so older Blender versions are not supported.
