Why we like it

Earns its place for a non-destructive, geometry-node approach to hair cards that keeps both curve and mesh workflows open while staying compatible with Hair Chunk and Blender's official Hair node group.

What is Ls Hair Card Tool?

Ls Hair Card Tool is a Blender add-on from levosaber for creating game card models aimed at real-time rendering. It builds on geometry node modifiers, generating hair cards in a non-destructive way from either curves or meshes, and stays compatible with Hair Chunk.

Generating hair cards through a mesh gives more modeling control than using a curve, and it can be used alongside sculpting mode. Cards can be remade, and their horizontal and vertical segment counts are adjustable to suit density. The tool ships with three brushes: a mobile brush, a property brush, and a smooth brush, plus modeling parameters such as Taper, Tilt, and Random. It can automatically align Tilt and absorb Root to Growth.

The add-on works with Blender's official Hair geometry node group to produce Groom generation, and supports batch operations. It runs on Blender 4.2 and later, is distributed under the GPL license, and a YouTube tutorial and demo video are available.

Frequently asked questions

Does Ls Hair Card Tool work with Blender 4.2?

Ls Hair Card Tool supports Blender 4.2 and later, with listings noting compatibility through 4.5. It relies on geometry node modifiers to generate hair cards non-destructively, so a Blender version that includes the geometry nodes workflow is needed. The tool is also compatible with Blender's official Hair geometry node group, which points to a recent 4.x release. If you're on an earlier version than 4.2, you'd want to update before installing. For the current supported range, check the developer's page, since support can expand with new releases.

Is Ls Hair Card Tool free, and what license does it use?

Ls Hair Card Tool is listed as free in this catalog, and it's distributed under the GPL license. Licensing terms can change over time, so it's worth confirming the current details and any usage conditions on the developer's page before you rely on it for a project. The GPL license generally covers how you can use, modify, and redistribute the add-on. For questions about pricing or licensing specific to your situation, the developer's page and contact channels are the best place to look.

What brush tools does Ls Hair Card Tool include?

Ls Hair Card Tool includes three brush tools: a mobile brush, a property brush, and a smooth brush. These work alongside its mesh-based generation, which offers more modeling control than curves and can be used in conjunction with sculpting mode. Beyond the brushes, the tool exposes modeling parameters such as Taper, Tilt, and Random, and it can automatically align Tilt and absorb Root to Growth. Together these give you several ways to shape hair cards after they're generated through curves or meshes.

Can Ls Hair Card Tool work with Blender's official Hair geometry nodes?

Ls Hair Card Tool is compatible with Blender's official Hair geometry node group, which lets it achieve Groom generation. It's also built to stay compatible with Hair Chunk, and hair cards can be remade with adjustable horizontal and vertical segment counts to match a given density. The add-on supports batch operations as well, which can help when working across multiple cards. Combined, these let it fit into a geometry-nodes-based hair setup in Blender.
