Hair Shader System for Unreal Engine 4 plus Hair Strand Designer Low-poly 3D model

Version 1.0: Original Version with some extra experimental FX Version 1.2: Newer version, refined effects, removed anisoLight function (avoids confusion) fixed emissive part (now doesnt glow in the dark) Version 1.36 : Hair strand Designer added

I have created for you an ideal shader for both realistic and stylistic hair. This hair shader is created through Unreals Material editor and comes complete with 9 material instance examples as well as a base Hair wig to try out. The system uses a RGB mask, a normal map and an alpha texture to help drive the details.

Internally the shader does alot of nice tricks for a low price!

Please check out the videos, if you like it, please buy it and I will be at hand to bring updates based on your feedback.

I have added Hair Strand designer to this pack! (see 3rd video)

Please also, do not hesitate to ask questions about this shader but I will not give away the material graphs for free as I spent alot of time and will spend more developing it further for you.

I hope you get great results from this! The hair that comes with this pack is a simple basic hair which I also have a method for creating. Please check out my You tube videos linked here to see how I created this hair-wig.

I will be adding details and creating more based on the success of this asset pack, you can also send requests let me know what you'd like me to add, even send your head models to me so I can make wigs for them! I will make all wigs available to all buyers unless an exclusivity deal is struck, this way I can keep your wigs as a one off for you only (my usual freelance service costs will apply in that case).

Drive the hair you want with Variation-Root-Tip-Alpha RGBA textures or in the case of the Unreal system RGB and A as an opacity mask.

The results of this hair depends on the settings, aniso light settings assume a light position that is directly above and the anisobend will distort the angle that reflects the lights in the scene.

Improvements will be made on this pack regularly, so may affect cost, buy it now to ensure the best price.!

Included FBX files separately in case you need to make adjustments.
