What is Better Hair Tool?
Better Hair Tool is a plugin that aims to improve hairstyles creation. It allows to manipulate tools both in VR and in desktop with a shortcut to activate/deactivate them, and also controls the strength of the tool with the analog trigger, which makes the overall experience of creating hairs easier, smoother, faster...
This is a first release aiming to get feedback and potential ideas to improve it over time.
This one is for you all great hairs creators! We are all using your awesome creations, it was time to pay back the bill <3
As always, many thanks to @Spacedog and @Juno for the ideas and beta testing.
How to use Better Hair Tool?
- Add a character to your scene
- Add the plugin to the character
- You can edit your options if you are using VR (at the moment, options are only for VR)
