Ahoge 0.9.2 - Hair plugin for Maya

我们是一个小型团队，正在开发一款名为 Ahoge 的 Autodesk Maya 插件，旨在简化发型的创建过程，包括风格化和复杂的发型，例如动漫、漫画和游戏项目中常见的发型。

该插件的名称“Ahoge”源自日语单词“アホ毛”（a-ho-ge），字面意思是“愚蠢的头发”或“白痴头发”。在动漫和漫画中，阿霍奇（Ahoge）是一种独特的角色设计特征：一缕凌乱的头发，通常蓬松地伸出，为角色增添魅力和个性。

与依赖头发引导的传统方法不同，阿霍奇只需在几何体上填充头发，使整个过程更加直观。它使用 NURBS 曲面来生成头发。虽然这不是可用于游戏的发卡，但我们已经开始开发一套工具，用于将阿霍奇头发转换为发卡。

该插件支持 Windows 上的 Maya 2023 至 2026 版本（目前不支持 macOS）。

目前，Ahoge 仅支持在 Arnold 中进行渲染，并允许将毛发以 Alembic 格式导出到 Unreal Engine 和 Marmoset Toolbag 5。

要安装该插件，请按照 ahoge_installer 中的说明操作。您也可以手动安装。如果您安装插件失败，请联系我们，我们将尽力为您提供帮助。

The plugin supports Maya 2023 through 2026 on Windows (macOS isn't supported at this time)

Currently, Ahoge supports rendering in Arnold only and allows exporting hair as Alembic to Unreal Engine and Marmoset Toolbag 5.

To install the plugin, follow the instructions in the ahoge_installer. Manual Installation is also available. If you failed to install the plugin, please contact us, we will try to help you.

We are a small team developing a plugin for Autodesk Maya called Ahoge, designed to simplify the process of creating hairstyles — including stylized and complex ones, such as those often seen in anime, manga, and game projects.

The plugin's name — Ahoge — comes from the Japanese word アホ毛 (a-ho-ge), which literally translates to "foolish hair" or "idiot hair." In anime and manga, an ahoge is a distinctive character design trait: a single, often unruly strand of hair that sticks out, adding charm and personality to the character.

Unlike traditional approaches that rely on hair guides, Ahoge simply populates geometry with hair, making the process more intuitive. It uses NURBS surfaces for hair generation. This is not game-ready haircards, but we have begun development on a toolset for converting Ahoge hair into haircards.
