Game hair cards groomed onto a character head with HairStorm hair card tool.
The pipeline

Three steps, one application.

Strands, textures, cards and grooming share one project file. Modifiers and filters stay non-destructive, so a late change is an edit, not a rebuild.

01Procedural strands

Generate strands

Draw and generate procedural strands on a flat 2D canvas. Layers keep bangs, crown and sides in separate streams, and a stack of eleven modifiers shapes each one.

RemovesNo round trip to a separate grooming package to get a usable strand source.

2D procedural strand workspace generating and modifying strand layers.

Video transcript

Generates procedural hair strands on a layered 2D canvas in the HairStorm hair card tool. Bangs, crown and sides stay in separate layers while eleven modifiers — Noise, Curl, Clump, Taper, Frizz, Gravity, Bend, Braid, Trim, Smooth and Wave — reshape the strands non-destructively with real-time viewport feedback.

Bake selected texture maps from the visible source hair.

Video transcript

Bakes the visible hair into selected texture maps, then previews the result. Map choices include Albedo, Alpha, Normal, Roughness, and Direction. Paid plans support textures up to 4K.

02Bake textures

Bake and review your textures

Choose the maps you need, bake the visible source hair, and inspect the color and hair outline before creating cards.

RemovesNo manual render setup, and no hand-authoring hair textures in an image editor.
033D GroomingProfessional / Studio

Groom cards on the scalp

Import a head model, then draw and shape hair cards directly on the scalp surface with interactive grooming tools: Select, Draw Strips, Redraw Strip, Twist, Width Size and Width Bend.

RemovesNo exporting an unfinished asset just to position it somewhere else.

Grooming hair card strips directly onto a 3D character scalp model.

Video transcript

Imports a character head mesh, draws hair card strips directly on the scalp so cards snap to the surface, then styles them with Twist, Width and Bend controls plus Comb, Smooth, Move, Clump and Cut 3D brushes. Professional and Studio unlock this groom workspace.

Instant visual response as strands and hair cards are edited live in the viewport.

Video transcript

Shows changes to source-hair styling and placed cards in the viewport. Source changes need a new bake to update textures; texture filters can adjust the existing bake.

Realtime

Generate, modify, and preview in real time.

Adjust source styling and card placement while watching the viewport. Bake again after source changes, then inspect the resulting maps before export.

Non-destructive modifiers

Compare clumping, curls, and other strand effects without redrawing the source hair.

Realtime maps preview

Inspect color, transparency, and hair-flow maps while reviewing the placed cards.
