Learn How To Use UE5's Hair Card Generator

Creating hair cards can be challenging and time-consuming, particularly when trying to match the volume and style of strand-based groom counterparts. The introduction of the Hair Card Generator makes that process easier by converting strand-based grooms to card-based representations with the click of a button.

Unreal Engine 5's Hair Card Generator plug-in is an experimental tool and future releases will aim to expand functionality to allow for more complex styles to be converted.

A series of video tutorials provided by Epic Games illustrate workflows for various asset types and guide you through using the tool for your own projects. These tutorials cover everything from converting a groom asset into a card-based representation to creating a complete set of LODs for a hair card asset.

You can access them here to start experimenting with the Hair Card Generator yourself and provide feedback on the EDC forum.
