What is Hair Bricks Addon

Hair Bricks is a layer-based grooming system powered by Blender's geometry node. Since blender switched to the new curve hair system, the possibilities for hair workflows have opened up, but the process of creating the hairstyles has become less intuitive for your everyday artist that would just like to focus on creating their hair asset. This tool solved that problem by focusing on the artist's needs without losing out on the power of the Geometry node system.
