Pre-Release Update
Added 2025-01-23 11:48:03 +0000 UTCFor those that have downloaded Hair Wrangler already, I just wanted to let you know there has been an update. This update is quite important as it affects workflow. A link to the documentation is available through the Preferences panel in Blender.
Version 1.1 Release
The 1.1 update for Hair Wrangler brings exciting new features and refinements, enhancing both workflow flexibility and user experience. Here's what's new:
New Features:
Per-Curve Resolution Control:
Adjust resolution individually for each curve. This offers greater control and precision when styling complex hair systems.
Improved Curve Selection:
Curves now use a transparent shader in Hair mode, making selection easier in Material Preview and Render modes. Note: Both poly and hair modes remain visible in Solid mode.
Enhancements:
Path Curve Resolution removed:
Adjust curve point radii directly using Alt+S for more intuitive control.
Dynamic Material Assignment:
Curves moved into a Hair system collection now automatically adopt the appropriate material (Hair or Poly) based on the system's current mode.
Optimized Bevel Conversion:
Bevel objects are now handled with improved logic, ensuring converted curves match their original dimensions for consistent results.
Viewport Display Options:
Simplified control over viewport settings, offering smoother performance and better previews when working with large hair systems.
Bug Fixes:
Resolved an issue with undo operations in some actions.
Addressed minor stability issues for better performance.
