Curve Hair Project Files

This is a quick and relatively simple to use tool for anyone who would like to create alpha hair using Blender's built in particle system.

Please keep in mind that this is a quick tool I originally made for personal use. 

This tool allows you to create multiple different alpha hair passes such as ambient occlusion, distance from camera, randomness per strand and strand length. The black and white maps can be combined into one singular RGB pass for faster rendering.

I have also recently created a tutorial for using these with curves. You can see that video here: https://youtu.be/f44DuxndEYI

Added new Geometry Nodes Files

To use, simply append the collection in "GeoNode Curve to Mesh.blend", add a bezier curve, add the geometry nodes geoup to the curve and set the material to hair and the output to UVMap. You can now play around with the other settings to get it the way you like it! You can follow the tutorial here: https://youtu.be/3tPdmf1veG0 and if you want, you can get some example files here: https://bit.ly/3O6gouY

Thank you for your support! I hope you get some use out of these!
