Kind of in shock at all the attention my app is getting, thank you everyone! Just want to make it very clear that I am not a coder! Anime Hair Studio is vibe coded using Codex/Chatgpt.

Will likely push the next update this weekend. Nothing huge, but I've made a lot of tweaks to the Gizmo, it should be way better now, especially in the scalp editor. Added Live surface/layer drop downs menus in the viewport. Also started adding support for 日本語

@Gu1Sparr0w You can do this by going to the title bar and clicking File>Import Head Mesh, or Guides>Edit Head and in the head editor you should see a button to import your mesh in the right hand panel.

@2_LuDe_ It would be great to be able to add custom heads, or have presets for some heads! That would be perfect for creating hairstyles for Roblox games!

New update is live! I'll go through the features in this thread but to sum it up. Added the Panel strand tool with the Zipper split controls. Added editable Capsule guides. UI changes, bug fixes, most importantly the save feature should now be working online.

For those wondering what my intentions are concerning monetization and licensing for Anime Hair Studio, here's the TLDR version of it

discord.gg/ZsZj5JESh For now you can check out the patch notes on our all new discord server! until I figure out how to do this on twitter that is. How do people do this usually?

@Lemonade__Spice thanks! I can't seem to reproduce that on my end. What does the contextual menu look like?

@2_LuDe_ This is pure gold and I'm already super into it, amazing! Btw, when I Shift + Right Click to rotate the camera, some contextual menu pops up, is there any chance to remove that?

Ok I think this maybe my new favorite tool.

@Chuuya_sWife It’s not in the current version of the app yet, will probably be there by the end of the week though, just want to tweak some things first before release

@2_LuDe_ how did u add the pink thing ???

@Cirius_VR Oof, yeah save has been weird because I’m testing offline, I can get it to work offline or online but can’t seem to do both in the same button. I’ll revert save to work online on next update. When I get home from work I’ll figure out the dm’s.

@2_LuDe_ Yeah, repositioning the head is the best workaround for now! Thanks! If not already on your to-do list, might I suggest a redo function? Heh. Also, the save function gives me an error. Can I DM to share the error and discuss things further? Posts are so limited lol

Remade the scalp guide system. My goals were to make it: - quick and easy to edit - better define the hair regions - be universal enough to fit for almost any head Not super exciting stuff, but it's essentially the back bone of the whole system.

@Cirius_VR Agreed, the obscured points is something I encountered in testing as well and then forgot about. Thanks for reminding me! it's going on the to do list. As a work around, you can resize/reposition the head, and proportional editing (hotkey is b) can help nudge hidden points.

@2_LuDe_ I'm checking out the tool, and it's seeming very awesome! The scalp fitting is a struggle, though lol Could maybe add a function to move the entire scalp together? Would really help with aligning the cap to a custom imported head model. Also, points are obscured inside the head.

Since a lot of people are asking, the app is called anime hair studio, it’s a stand alone web app (eventually desktop, maybe mobile app) I have a link in my bio to try it out. The hair split feature hasn’t been added to the live version yet as I’m still tweaking things.

@MarcinMortus @Sacb0y It’s a stand alone web app (plan to make it an offline desktop app at some point). You can export files to use out in your software of choice though

@2_LuDe_ @Sacb0y What is this thing? An addon?

@migero_usausagi I personally prefer the straight UV’s, the issue here is that it’s not taking into account the extruded edges and back face which would cause some issues. They were also upside down which I fixed. Not too hard to fix manually but would be nice if they came ready to go.

@2_LuDe_ i guess it depends on the artist i seen hair with both types of UV. Straight and curved.

このツール何？！

@migero_usausagi good question Answer is, honestly a lot better than I expected, but they need work. The tool works as a plane and then adds an extrusion so I guess this is to be expected.

@2_LuDe_ but what about UV

@nightshift_tony it could, but I'll restrain myself lol. The feature was inspired by how zippers work in Marvelous Designer though.

@2_LuDe_ does it make the sound of a zipper?

@everbitaworks @ItZunco Eventually plan on doing this. For now web app makes it easy to share, but personally I don't want to do any serious 3D work in a browser, I'm sure most people probably feel the same.

@ItZunco @2_LuDe_ It's called Anima Hair Studio and you can try the demo at the link in their profile. I just hope it gets an offline version someday

@pssoft7 It should, it basically is a plane with an extrusion to give it some thickness.

@2_LuDe_ Nice. Does it work on plane? E.g. hair cards.

@ThePlumedOne That's the goal, export curves, bones, weights and handles. but seems like we need FBX or maybe some other format for that.

@2_LuDe_ Yes you can convert a polyline into a curve in blender but it's less flexible than a Bezier or Nurbs path curve. Exporting the curves themselves would be a nice feature but for something like your braid preset, being able to export the mesh itself (maybe rigged too) would be nice

Here's a few of the features I've been cooking - You can continue drawing a strand where you left off by placing the cursor over the tip. (you can toggle it off if you want, but I find it super useful!) - added a pull toggle to the move tool that lets you pull strands
