WORKFLOW & EXPORTS

Production-ready 3D hair cards & Blender workflow

Built on HairDeck research, KardMesh turns a single 2D character image into layered hair card geometry, UV textures, and optional spring-bone rigs ready for games, VTubers, VRChat, and Blender.

OBJ, GLB & rigged VRM exports

Every completed job delivers a ZIP archive containing full and standalone no-head .OBJ and .GLB hair card meshes, UV-mapped textures, card metadata (cards_seed*.json, info.json), and—when Animation Bones are enabled—a rigged .VRM avatar with spring bone chains (chains_seed*.json).

Speed, Quality & up to 4 variations

Iterate rapidly in Speed mode (10 inference steps) or maximize strand detail in Quality mode (50 steps), tune seed and CFG image adherence, and generate up to 4 variations per job—always at 1 credit per variation.

Official Blender Addon & API

Generate personal API keys from your account menu after any purchase and connect the official KardMesh Blender addon (3.6+) via https://api.kardmesh.com to submit, monitor, and import hair cards inside Blender.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What 3D file formats does KardMesh export?

Every KardMesh generation produces a downloadable ZIP archive containing 3D hair card meshes in .GLB and .OBJ (including a standalone no-head mesh), UV-mapped textures, card metadata (cards_seed*.json, info.json), and—for signed-in users with Animation Bones enabled—a rigged .VRM avatar (avatar_seed*.vrm) with spring bone chains (chains_seed*.json).

How many credits does each 3D hair generation cost?

KardMesh uses a flat rate of 1 credit per generated variation, regardless of whether you select Speed mode (10 inference steps) or Quality mode (50 inference steps). Generating 4 variations in a single job costs 4 credits. Failed GPU jobs are automatically refunded.

Can I try KardMesh for free before buying credits?

Yes. You get 2 free guest trial generations (1 variation each) without creating an account. Signing in with a passwordless email magic link grants 5 free non-expiring welcome credits and unlocks up to 2 simultaneous variations, advanced controls, and .VRM spring bone rigging.

Can I use generated hair cards in commercial projects?

Yes. You keep ownership of your input images and receive full personal and commercial rights to use the generated .OBJ, .GLB, textures, and rigged .VRM hair assets in commercial video games, VTuber streams, VRChat avatars, films, and animations. The base mannequin included for VRM alignment is CC0 1.0.

How does the official KardMesh Blender addon work?

After purchasing any credit pack or subscription, generate a personal API key from your KardMesh account menu, install the kardmesh add-on inside Blender (3.6+), set the API endpoint to https://api.kardmesh.com, and submit, monitor, and download 3D hair jobs directly from Blender’s Image Editor sidebar.

Do credit packs expire, and how do subscriptions work?

One-time credit packs (Pack 25, Pack 120, Pack 250) never expire. Monthly and annual subscriptions (Starter, Pro, Advanced) unlock up to 4 variations per job and 1, 5, or 10 addon API keys; annual plans deliver their credit allowance in 12 monthly installments across the billing year.

Are uploaded images used to train AI models?

No. Uploaded 2D images and generated ZIP archives are processed in isolated temporary environments solely to fulfill your generation request and are never used to train AI models.
