scenario-blender-hair

Featured

Use when grooming hair or fur in Blender with hair curves, such as a character hairstyle, animal fur, procedural fur in geometry nodes, or hair cards and mesh hair for games. Also covers the Essentials hair node assets (Interpolate, Clump, Curl, Frizz, Noise, Trim), density masks, bald spots, parting lines, strand shading in Cycles or EEVEE, and slow grooms. Use it too when a hair script misbehaves headless, for example stale modifier inputs or curve sculpt brushes that do nothing.

Skill Content

# Hair and fur grooming (hair curves, Blender 5.2) Expert grooming means a few evenly spaced guides that set direction and silhouette. Stacked, masked procedural layers add density, clumping, frizz, length variation and strays, judged in a lit render at full density and in pose. Write guides as data (no curve brush stroke can be scripted in 5.2.1) and make every look decision through the Essentials hair node-group assets. If a sibling skill named here is missing from your available skills, ask the user to install it (`npx skills add scenario-labs/skills --skill <name>`); unattended, proceed from tool schemas and flag the gap. **REQUIRED BACKGROUND:** scenario-blender-expert (execution channel, review loop, 5.2 API changes). ## Stance (the expert delta) - **Guides get 2 points until every direction is right** (Schmidbauer). More points make combing tangle and clip. Use 3 for short fur, 8 only for long hair. Bystedt resamples long human hair to 15 points before shaping. - **Space guides evenly, and always mask Interpolate** (Schmidbauer). Children spawn over the whole surface, and a child far from any guide "does whatever". Gaps turn into bald spots that grow under deformation. - **Density is counted per square meter and must be huge. Radius drops with it** (Thommes). Long fur uses 1,000,000/m² at about 0.2 mm radius. Work at a Viewport Amount of 4%. - **Randomize per curve, not per point** (Thommes). Give 80% of strands no frizz. Strays are 10% of curves with strong noise....

scenario-maya-groom

Use when grooming hair or fur in Maya with XGen (Interactive Groom splines or legacy descriptions): scalp hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, fur, guides, clumps, noise, parting, density maps, a fill layer, aiStandardHair shading, noisy or flickering hair renders, hair that must move (Linear Wire, nHair, Alembic caches), or a groom for Unreal (groom Alembic, cards). Also when XGen hair looks CG, clumps look uniform, the scalp shows through, or an XGen script fails.

scenario-blender-geometry-nodes

Use when building or debugging Geometry Nodes, headless or live: procedural modeling, scattering objects on a surface, arrays along a curve, repeat or for-each loops, simulation zones, 5.2 physics (cloth, colliders, forces, effectors), closures, bundles, matrices, node-group assets with gizmos. Also when a GN script links nothing, shows red links, ignores modifier inputs, loses instances in a bounding box, or a simulation resets or jumps.

scenario-blender-sculpting

Use when sculpting in Blender through Python: sculpt a head, face or bust, a stylized or cartoon character, a creature or a realistic portrait; block out from primitives; cut planes, a jaw or gonial angle, cheekbones; fix a jaw or face that looks like a ball or balloon; stylized hair clumps; eyelids; an expression or smirk; plan remesh or multires resolution; reproduce Clay Strips, Crease, Draw Sharp, Scrape, Grab or mask moves without a tablet; final clay renders; or when a sculpt operator crashes headless.
