10Report| Release v.1.65.02 | Indie / Hobbyist use - For Folio work | over 3 years ago
What does this program do that is so power intensive? I've got a gaming rig with RTX 3070 and it feels like my PC is about to fly away everytime I open this program, it runs at 5 FPS in the generation screen too, making it very tedious to select strands and sliders. I'm guessing it's because the program continues to render or refresh strands, even if you're not making any changes to them? Still a handy tool though, would be 5 stars if not for the horrible performance. Edit: The UI appears to run much better now, and no longer stutters, still performance intensive, but as the author explained, not much can be done about that. Bumped up to 5 stars.

Thanks for the honest review Tomas. The main reason for the performance issue is that when I first created the application there was no way to preview the strands and you had to render to see the results which was much more of a time consuming process, so reluctantly I decided to create a previewer which is not very performance friendly due to the way that it draws the hairs pixel by pixel, there are optimization modes at the bottom left, that as well as isolating a set by clicking on the number twice will help a bit. You can Also Press F2 to toggle on motion detection optimization which will reduce the previewer detail if you are moving the mouse. EDIT: I've made some improvements in V1.65 which means the UI now avoids any latency as much as possible but strand updates only happen on mouse release.

Very good tool for creating hair cards. But some things I feel can be improved which is why I am not giving 5 stars. The UI needs work. The UI elements look abit messy as they are not aligned nicely. Some of the text is very hard to see (very small dark grey text on a slightly lighter grey background with little contrast). I also do not like that turning on the multistrand option affects all hairclumps, it would be better as a toggleable option for each clump so that you do not have to spend time manually combining the generated maps inside photoshop if you only want extra strands on certain clumps. i also find that the maximum values for the parameters that you can change are sometimes limiting, I found that having only 11 clumps maximum and 100 strands per clump, and only 3 different mixer options is too little, which again forced me to spend time combining maps in photoshop to get the desired result. Just a bit more would have been perfect.

Thanks for the concise review, all things I agree on too. As this is HSD1 and was grown very organically in terms of features, HSD2 will defiantly be taking all these things into consideration and be a vast improvement and I am sure you will like it. It will take some time to develop but it has begun and will be a free upgrade for all users. This could even change your review in the future when it is ready. Thanks again for making use of this product and the 4 stars is well respected. Robert

Great product for hair modelling! Only one thing, that i would love to see in future is: maybe i have missed something, but i couldnt find where to delete spare strandsand maximum hair count on one strand was 100. If its possible-add option to delete unneeded strands and for hair count, make it 200+ ofcourse if its possible. In general, this programboosts up your modelling pipeline, 100% suggest it

All sets can have their strand count set from 0-100. Version 2 will see you able to have many more sets and more efficient performance.

Very convenient to creating quick hair cards. Looking forward to see its development. Hoping for more maps unreal and greater range and depth for hair and fur

I am glad you think so =) It is designed to be 'simple' and effective.

Software is great and life saver. But little bit unresponsive and slow in terms of UI. Other than that it works well. There is nothing wrong with functionality. Just need to improve performance more.
over 3 years ago
Thanks, if you need more performance you can isolate sets by clicking their number on the bottom right and click on fast mode to reduce the strands on display. Preview mode is just to give you a rough idea of how the strands might look but it is intensive at this stage of development and better ways are being developed. Thank you for the very kind review score!
