Why we like it

Built from real production needs where particle hair suited sculpting but not real-time use, this add-on keeps the conversion workflow simple and transparent.

What is Hair Particle To Hair Card Generator?

Hair Particle To Hair Card Generator is a Blender add-on for turning hair particle systems into curve-based hair cards. It converts strands into hair cards in a single click, reducing the particle count to a manageable number of cards so characters can be prepared for real-time, game-ready, and optimization workflows.

After generating the hair cards, you can adjust card thickness and density to match your character. A default hair texture is automatically applied so you can see usable results immediately, while retaining full control to replace or customize the material later. The resulting hair cards remain fully editable, letting you tweak shapes without starting over.

The add-on was built from real production needs, where hair particles worked well for sculpting and look-development but were not practical for real-time use. It works with the Cycles and Eevee render engines and is offered under the GPL license, keeping the conversion workflow simple and transparent for character-hair optimization.

Who is Hair Particle To Hair Card Generator best for?

Hair Particle To Hair Card Generator is best for blender artists moving from particle hair to optimized, editable hair cards for real-time, game, and AR characters.

How much does Hair Particle To Hair Card Generator cost?

Hair Particle To Hair Card Generator is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Does Hair Particle To Hair Card Generator work with Blender 4.2 and later?

Hair Particle To Hair Card Generator is compatible with Blender versions 4.2 through 5.0, and it is listed as a Blender Extension. It is distributed as an add-on, so it installs into Blender rather than running as a standalone application. For the most current compatibility details and any newer version notes, check the developer's page before installing, and confirm your Blender build falls within the supported range.

Which render engines does Hair Particle To Hair Card Generator support?

Hair Particle To Hair Card Generator works with the Cycles and Eevee render engines in Blender. When you generate hair cards, a default hair texture is automatically applied so you can see usable results straight away, while you keep full control to replace or customize the material later. The resulting hair cards are curve-based and remain fully editable, letting you adjust card thickness and density to match your character without redoing the conversion.

Can I edit the hair cards after generating them?

Hair Particle To Hair Card Generator produces curve-based hair cards that remain fully editable. After the one-click conversion you can adjust card thickness and density to control performance and visual coverage, and you can tweak shapes without starting over. A default hair material is applied for instant feedback, and you retain full control to replace or customize that material later, so refinement happens on the generated result itself.

Is Hair Particle To Hair Card Generator free, and what license does it use?

Hair Particle To Hair Card Generator is listed as free in this catalog and is distributed under the GPL license. Licensing terms and pricing can change over time, so for the current status and any details relevant to your project, visit the developer's page directly.
