Hey everybody!
I've finally made the Stylized Hair PRO into an installable add-on!
Took a while, but now it's at a place where I am satisfied with the functionality and the ease of use.
This is a Geometry Nodes based add-on for Blender, that will allow you to create stylized hairstyles in a streamlined, procedural way!
It is focused on working with the hair curves system in Blender, but I've also adapted it to be able to work with other curves (bezier, paths) in the more traditional way of stylized hair creation.
It features a lot of tools to create and control hair curves - from their shape, geometry, materials, ornaments, and even animating them with a Hair Dynamics system.

Creating styled hair has never been easier. Fantastic, all that’s left is to do the hair rig.
There's a auto-armature generation utility in the latest versions! You should check it out. I have intentions to add a b-bone generations in the next update.
Holy moly!! That is some next level industrial light and magic shit right there!!!
Congrats on your amazing work here! 👌

Thank you for continuing working the project ❤❤
this is just fantastic. exacly what i was looking for.
This is amazing. Hair has been very difficult for me to make and be satisfied with but your addons have been so helpful. I'm excited to try the new update!
Wow, this looks amazing! It looks and feels absolutely professional!
Awesome job with this tool can't wait to give the new update a go.
dude that's awesome, just bought it, hope you sells a lot, you deserve it king👍
I had your Stylized Hair Pro, almost at the First Day, Thanks you for the Upgrade !! its AMAZING !! keep going ! Its easier to use ! 🤩
A very nice addon that's for sure, nice work! :)
Excellent update, affordable price!
This is really really good man
Fantastic
Great work bro 👌
Very Cool.. thank you
That physics bit is so cool haha
Just started using v2 the other day. Thank you so much for streamlining the process of using your program. Not that it wasn't difficult before, but this is far more intuitive and lets us focus more on the fun part - which is styling the hair. c: After the frustration of trying to use curves by hand, this was an absolute gift! Thank you for your hard work and passion on putting this together!
Also just finished actually watching the video and oh my god you've thought of EVERYTHING. This is so cool!! :D
@@teknicolortiger7942 I hope I did :) Always open for suggestions for any features!
Sorry to bother you here, but I wasn't sure what the best way to contact you would be for this, (if there's an email or something, I'm sorry if I overlooked it) but I think I'm having a glitch with it. It's hard to explain without showing a picture, but it seems like there's a kind of "knot" in the geometry near the tip of whatever strand I load in. With wireframe turned on, it doesn't show over the rest of the strand, and just sort of tangles up in this one section near the tip? If that makes sense. I'm using EEVEE, if that matters, and have tried several settings and tools to smooth it out or untangle it. Weirdly, the strand reacts normally to everything else.@@denoa3D
@@denoa3D Nevermind. Acted too hastily. >.< lol
Yesssss! ❤❤❤
Such a great add-on for us non- or new character modellers. You had a fan at 4:48, Hair Curve Editing! Material/UV editing built in? I think I love you!!
Hello. Thank you so much for this wonderful add-on. I have a problem where my stylus doesn't work well but the mouse works fine. For instance, when using Slide with stylus, it simply lags and snaps back to its original location if I do manage to drag it with the stylus. As soon as I switch over to the mouse, it works fine. Beautiful add-on!
Yea, I have the same issue with the stylus. It also happens when dealing with a normal hair curve, without the add-on (even if I uninstall it, still bugs out). Idk what might that be, I guess it might be some bug in Blender or some setting somewhere. Though, I find it kinda awkward to groom hair with the pen anyway, so I just use the mouse for it.
Thank you for your work. How do I make sure that the hair strands do not fall through the character's mesh when shaping?
I have another question. Sometimes when you duplicate the strand, move on to another and come back to it i realized that It was locked and couldnt move or I couldnt do any other operation on it. I dont know if that follow a pattern or if it just random or maybe I did an operation locking it? Do you know what might be the cause of that?
EDIT: Nvm I found the reason. Sometimes I went into the edit mode and deselected the path without realizing it and thus making me unable to do the aforementionned actions on it. Smh lol
Just bought your plugin and having a play around atm... One thing I notice is if you move the strand in object mode and then return to sculpt mode the tools (like comb) don't really work anymore. I've tried setting location but that didn't help, any suggestions on how I should be moving strands after they have been created?
UPDATE: Nevermind I figured it out, I should have been using the slide tool in sculpt mode! :)

Hey boss, I've used the v2 of this addon in the past so I was excited to try out v3, but I'm having some issues at the moment. I'm on the latest version of blender (4.1.0) and when I click setup after adding the curve to the mesh, the curve just disappears and isn't replaced by the hair strand like the video. is there a specific version I should be using? I've tried using multiple versions of the addon, from 3.14 to 3.10
nvm i ended up trying it on a completely fresh blend file and it worked just fine. thanks for the great tool!
I recently bought and downloaded this addon (just yesterday, actually) and have been trying to get it to work. After failing that, I downloaded one of the older versions and tried that, which does work. After comparing the two, I see that the newest one has a lot of geometry nodes that don't seem to be connected. Comparing the nodes to an older version, there's nothing connected to the Group Output, among others. Since the geometry nodes of the older version and the newer aren't quite the same, I can't just backwards engineer all of the broken connections, so I can't quite get it to work, but I thought I should let you know if you haven't already caught the problem yourself. Otherwise I cannot figure out what went wrong since @shibaos and I are using the same version of Blender and are able to follow along up until adding the setup. So, I think the disconnected geometry nodes may have something to do with it. I'm not sure how things got disconnected, but it's the only lead on troubleshooting that I can think of currently.
Yep, at 4.0.2 it seems to disconnect the geometry sockets when you import the node setup.
My guess is that because there were some internal changes to the node sockets in latest releases of Blender, that might have messed it up. But there's now way to know for sure.
Once you reconnect them, it works, but it's tedious and impossible if you don't know where things are supposed to be.
Either way, it should work fine on 4.1.0.
I usually avoid using all the newest nodes to retain some level of backwards compatibility, but sometimes it's unavoidable. Generally I suggest using the newest version anyway if possible. So check if this solves the issue and let me know.
hello. I purchased your add-on and am using it well. However, I'm having a bit of a problem, so I'm leaving a question. When the curve is stretched, the spacing between vertices is not constant. I feel there are limits to keeping the spacing constant through the smooth function. Is there any other function that allows the spacing between vertices to be constant?
How do you stretch the curve? If you use the Grow or Snake Hook brush, it usually messes the curve points spacing. Using the "Constant" falloff helps a bit, but if you want to equalize them, you can use the Smooth brush with a few strokes over the curve and it will smooth it out.
Hey! Fantastic work. I just bought the addon and I was wondering is it normal that when moving the hair strand it is a bit slow like it is lagging? I have a 4060, 32GB ram so i dont understand why. Thank you!
Hard to say. I have a lesser card and don't experience much lagging.
Typically, when it comes to viewport stuff, the CPU is the limiting factor. Though, you should really experience slow down when there are a lot of hair strands.
To help out, you may want to lower the hair geometry resolution from the 'Settings' section.
Also, I find that sometimes the 'Surface Deform' modifier which is added every time you add a new hair curve slows the viewport a bit. If you don't intend to use it, remove it. It might help.
@@denoa3D Thanks for the fast reply! And also I didnt have time to test it but I also used a higher geometry mesh to create the basemesh so could it also be due to that? Neverthless, I'm gonna try what you told me. Thanks again!
@@kurozeitsuki7846Oh yeah, absolutely, I forgot to tell you that. Having a dense base mesh impedes performance heavily. If you have a high poly character, create a separate low poly base mesh for the hairs, that is slightly hidden inside the main mesh. You can also hide it from the render layer.
@@denoa3D yeah i did another lower basemesh and now it run great! Thanks for this addon!
Hello, sorry to bother you, would it be possible to bake hair dynamics ? Im seeing a bake section in the stylized hair pro modifier
if there is anyone wondering its in physics tab > simulation nodes > calculate to frame
Best addon for hair :)
Hi Dean, I recently get your stylized Hair pro addon and I want to add hair waver to my finished stylized hair, can you please make a tutorial/workflow using stylized hair pro with texturing and adding hair waver? I'm new with blender, thanks in advance!
Hey, You can add the Hair Waver modifier before the Stylized Hair one. It will wave the hair curve before it is given a geometry by the SHP.
However, I've got something more exciting - There's gonna be Wind Effects to the Hair Dynamics in the next update. As well as a lot more stuff, related to shading. So I'll make sure to make a full tutorial on hair shaders! You can expect that pretty soon :)
thank you very much!! @@denoa3D
I see you hair has a nice shape right out of the gate. How can I get the same shape? Great addon by the way!
Thanks a lot! Do you mean the hair on the girl? I sculpted it to test out the add-on.
@@denoa3D The hair strand you are using in the tutorial. When I create the first hair, it comes smooth with pretty much no lines
@@henryvasquez1814 Oh, that is the Sub-Strands from the Profile section. It used to be on by default, but I changed it to a more basic default state.
@@denoa3D 😥I liked how it looks in the video
Hi, I can't seem to get hair Dynamics working. When clicking Enable Dynamics and playing the timeline, I move the parent object but the strand stays stiff. I've tried to update all the strand settings - any idea why this may be happening?
(Actually, dynamics seem to be working in V3.10 - maybe it's a bug with V3.12? In any case, great plugin!)
Check if it is the undo bug. Sometimes, when you use undo (Ctrl+Z) it breaks simulations. It seems to be a bug with Blender and Geometry Nodes. Reload the file and it should work. If not let me know, because I don't see any problems with the version.
@@denoa3D Confirmed: it was the undo-bug - thank you!
Nice to meet you. I have purchased and tried to use it, but I am having trouble with blender force closing when I click on add stylized hair PRO setup. Is there any way to fix this? I'm Japanese and I'm using translation, so I'm sorry if the text is strange.
postscript
We were able to resolve the issue. Sorry for the inconvenience.
That's great! Was this caused by Blender version?
@@denoa3D Yes. Yes, it was.
hi sir when i click on add stylized hair and then switch to object mode it disappears automatically there is no hair mesh plz help me
What Blender version are you using?
Hello,
Is there a way, or in a future update, to copy the settings from one strand and paste them onto another? Thank you.
Absolutely! Just remove the modifier from the ones you want to copy to, either from the red 'Remove SHP Setup' button, or by deleting the modifier. Then select all curves, with the one you want to copy from active (which should have the SHP modifier, that you want to copy the settings from), then there's an arrow drop-down in the modifier, that has the 'Copy to selected' option. Now all curves in your selection will have the SHP modifier with the same settings.
"Oh, that's true. I didn't think about that technique...
Thank you!"
@@denoa3D
hello, does it work for 3.6.5 blender?
Only older versions. The latest version requires Blender 4.1.
Hey!
the addon is not being installed correctly on my blender (4.0.2). I`ve already tried to reinstall everything but it continues to not show the addon after installing it. Any ideia how to handle this?
Hey, sorry for the delay. Have you figured it out? What error message do you get?
@@denoa3D yeah, I`ve figured out. I own the older version and was confused thinking that "Pro Stylized Hair V3" was and update to that.
@@denoa3D so I was downloading the latest version of it (that was a 3.0 too xD) and trying to install it as an addon.
how to apply the mirror and keep style the hair
That is not yet a feature. The mirror is part of the whole Stylized Hair modifier so you have to apply the whole thing.
Since you can only give Geometry Nodes modifiers to hair curves, you can create a custom GN mirror setup as a separate modifier and apply it to have the mirrored curve created.
I will make an automated version of this in a next version of the add-on!
Please tell me how i can reduce the resolution of the ornaments.
I will add that feature in the next update!
thank you very much.@@denoa3D
The Customed ornament disappears when i push "convert hair curve to mesh" button.
Please let me know the solution.
I see, this must be a bug, I will fix it in a patch, should be ready in a few days!
@@user-no9ed4cl7l No, no, it is a bug, I checked.
As far as creating custom ornament, there isn't much of a process, you just model the ornament as a single object, or a collection of objects, then pick that object or collection from the add-on field. Just make sure, when you are modeling that the object is centered around the origin, so that it instances on the hair curve.
I will fix the converting to mesh bug, you can expect that very soon!
how do i attach them to my rig?
If you have a base mesh for the hairs, parent the base mesh to the head bone of your character directly. The hairs will move with it and if you have dynamics enabled they will react.
does it support auto rigged
Not from the add-on, though that's something I want to add in the future! If you use some other tool to auto-rig you can convert the curves to mesh and do it afterwards.
As soon as I make hair it always ends up in the trash, especially when I use curves, this addon is more for those who already master the technique well we would say.
Hey, do you have trouble with placing and grooming the hair curves with the Blender hairs sculpt tools? One thing might help is modeling or sculpting a crude shape of the hair style, then try to match it with the curves. But of course, as always, practice is king! Keep at it!
