Hair Groom

Believable hair flow. Scalp coverage. Cards for games. Curves/particles for cinematic.

When to Use

Character scalp hair, beards, brows
Creature fur / mane / whiskers
Game hair-card generation and placement
Cinematic curve/particle grooms

Path Decision

Target = Game / real-time  → Hair cards (+ optional proxy curves)
Target = Cinematic        → Curves or particle hair + materials
Target = Both             → High groom → bake cards / textures

Workflow (Game Cards)

Scalp mesh → Guide curves → Card strips along flow
  → Atlas UVs → Alpha/normal hair texture → LOD cards → Export

Workflow (Cinematic)

Scalp → Particle/curve groom → Clump/frizz/noise
  → Hair shader (melanin/roughness) → Render test → Cache if needed

Groom Principles

Flow first — Primary direction before flyaways
Density hierarchy — Dense roots, controlled tips
Clumps — Hair reads as groups, not spaghetti
Silhouette — Outer shape more important than strand count
Scalp bleed — Avoid bald patches at hairline

Card Guidelines

LOD	Cards (guide)	Notes
Hero close-up	80–200	Layered shells
Standard	30–80	Main masses
Distant	8–20	Cap + few strips

Name: SM_HairCard_[Region]
Atlas: T_Hair_[Name]_RGBA (alpha in A)
Prefer opacity clip or hashed for Eevee preview

Naming

Guides: CRV_HairGuide_[Region]
Cards: SM_HairCard_[Region]

Constraints

MUST DO

Establish hairline and parting early
Match card UVs to atlas layout
Test silhouette from game camera angles

MUST NOT DO

Uniform card width everywhere
Skip root density near scalp
Over-detail flyaways before primary masses
