  • Grow and style hair on any model and object imported in DAZ Studio
  • Multiple shave groups support
  • Load, save and share presets with other users
  • Multiple undos
  • Multithreading support for intensive calculations
  • Easy and straightforward GUI
  • Zoom, pan and rotate helpers

Setup:

  • Simply define follicle areas by clicking directly on the mesh
  • Marquee tool to define larger follicle areas
  • Helper window to define follicles by surface
  • Split a follicle selection into a new one shave group
  • Copy a follicle selection into a new one shave group
  • Automatic hair position updating during posing and shaping
  • Integrated DAZ Studio node interface
  • Background computation processing for most intensive processes
  • Tooltip help

Styling:

  • Interactive guide hair styling
  • On Screen Display for immediate brush style, intensity and mode setting
  • Several tools available: comb, scissors, scale and clumping
  • Comb tool with guide spline constraint solver
  • Marquee tool for multiple guide hair selection
  • Advanced guide selection to isolate groups to allow easier styling
  • Several deformers available: spherize, curl, length, tilt roots, swirl and taper. These deformers allow to easily define a shape without even combing
  • Possibility to enable or disable occlusion editing for guide hair
  • Stereo mode feature to allow symmetric styling
  • Optional automatic full hair population preview, with density control
  • Sliders available to apply random roots effects, randomize hair length and global clumping effects for full hair population
  • Frizz roots and Frizz tips effects available for full hair population will enable the user to create astonishing variations
  • Frizz optional texture map multiplier
  • Assign a different preview colour to each shave group
