Sisir - Hair Creation Tool (v1.2.2)
Sisir is a promising, free standalone software tool designed specifically for 3D hair grooming and styling tailored for character artists.
It serves as a dedicated alternative to traditional grooming pipelines, allowing you to sculpt, style, and generate physics-based hair or fur interactively directly on top of character meshes.
Core Features of Sisir:
- Workflow Modules: Structured into three main tabs for seamless pipeline management: Guides, Hair, and Render.
- Physics Based Simulation: Grooming responds to natural gravity and physical forces non-destructively as you draw and sculpt vector guides.
- Mask Painting: Built-in vertex painting lets you isolate specific regions and dynamically control hair density, length, and distribution.
- Hair Cards Module: Built-in support for generating polygonal strips (cards) optimized for real-time video game engines.
- Universal Exporting: Easily exports to standard formats like PLY and Alembic (.abc), making it highly compatible with major DCC apps like Blender, Maya, or 3ds Max.
The tool is currently in beta for Windows and is entirely free for both personal and commercial use. You can download the latest builds by joining their official Discord community.
