Hair Shaders - Advanced Materials - Episode 13 @BenCloward

Uploaded January 2023 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

In this shader video, we take a look at the hair shaders that are available for Unreal and Unity. First we take a look at some reference images and identify the important visuals of hair. And then we dive into Unreal and Unity and talk about how the available hair shaders mimic the appearance of hair on both card meshes as well as strand-based hair.

Here's last week's video on eye shaders:
