HairShop v2.6 Update Notes (2026/Jan/30)

I’m excited to share what’s coming in the next version of Hairshop! Here is the list of improvements and new features:

1. Wave Feature Enhancements

• Improved Wave functionality with more control and better results.

2. Hair Thickness Randomness

• Added a randomness parameter for hair thickness to create more natural and diverse hair strands.

3. Chain Curve Improvements

• Refined Chain curve behavior for smoother and more intuitive modeling.

4. New Preferences & Settings

• Language Selection: You can now choose your preferred language within the tool.
• Preview Texture Map Selection: For better performance, you can now select specific texture maps for the preview.
• Parameter Reset Button: Added a dedicated button to reset parameters to their default values.
• Refined Parameter Naming: Renamed several parameters for better clarity and ease of use.
  
• Hair Cutting Tool: Precision trimming is finally here. Experience a truly intuitive and refreshing grooming workflow.
  

HairShop v2.5 Update Notes (2026/Jan/17)

1. Advanced PBR Material System

• Anisotropy Strength: Implements strand-based highlight intensity for hair and feathers, allowing for realistic light reflection along the hair flow.
• Per-Group Roughness & Metallic Control: Enables individual material settings for each group. You can now define silk-smooth hair (low roughness) and solid metal chains (high metallic) within a single project.
• Precision Refinement: Fine-tune your look with integrated Roughness and Contrast sliders to control the sharpness and spread of specular highlights.

2. Unified Texture Packing System

• Custom Channel Mapping: A new system to pack multiple maps (Anisotropy, Roughness, Metallic, etc.) into the RGBA channels of a single texture.
• Engine-Ready Workflow: Export optimized textures formatted specifically for Unreal Engine, Unity, and other PBR-based pipelines, significantly reducing the need for manual post-processing.
  

"A Note on Segment Resolution"

We've opened up the segment limits based on your feedback! While this allows for more detail, please keep in mind that high values (Default: 128) can affect performance depending on your PC specs.

I’ve left this setting unlocked because I believe in giving users full control over their workflow. However, if the tool feels heavy or slow, please make sure to check your segment count first. Thank you for your understanding!

이따금 몇몇분들에게 렉이 발생한다는 피드백을 받습니다. 전부다 Segment 값을 올렸을때 생기는 이슈였습니다. 대부분은 128에서 이미 좋은 결과가 나오지만 심하게 frizzy를 사용하였을경우 각이 보이게 됩니다. 이때는 segment를 보면서 올려주시면됩니다(그 그룹에서만). 보통 256에서는 대부분 해결될거라 생각됩니다.

Just for reference, I’m using an RTX 3080 (12GB VRAM) and 32GB of RAM for development. The tool runs perfectly on this spec, so if things feel heavy on your end, please make sure to check the segments setting. It’s unlocked for your convenience, but higher values require more power!

저는 3080(12g vram), 32gb main memory에서 개발하고 테스트를 합니다. 충분히 작업이 가능하니 segment를 꼭 확인해주셨으면합니다.
