Hair Card UV Tool
add-on
Hair Card UV Tool is powerful Blender add-on built to make hair card UV unwrapping, alignment, and packing faster, easier, and mathematically precise. This tool streamlines your workflow and delivers clean, optimized, game-ready results in minutes.
Features at a Glance:
1. One-Click UV Unwrap
Instantly generate clean UVs for hair cards. The add-on automatically detects volumetric tubes vs. flat ribbons, marks optimal underside seams, and aligns roots upward without manual unwrapping steps.
-
UV Alignment & Straighten All Strips
Keep hair strands perfectly straight, uniform, and aligned. Instantly straightens dozens or hundreds of hair cards simultaneously into clean rectangular strips. Works flawlessly on quads, triangles, and hybrid cards with triangular tips with zero diagonal shear. -
Smart UV Packing & Overlap
Optimize texture space with professional precision. Pack strips tightly or overlap matching cards into customizable sets (e.g. 10, 20, or custom cards per set) to dramatically boost hair texel density on your texture atlas.
🎯 Advanced UV Organizer
Define source islands and snap/align target hair cards with pixel-perfect precision and manual fine-tuning tools.
⚡ Batch Processing
Work on multiple hair cards or complete grooms in one single action without tedious card-by-card isolation.
🏁 Checker Map Preview
Integrated checker material toggle with dynamic tiling slider to verify texel density and catch any stretching.
