Create hair and fur

Create a Hair shader material

New Materials in HDRP use the Lit shader by default. To create a Hair Material from scratch, create a Material and then make it use the Hair shader. To do this:

1. In the Unity Editor, navigate to your Project's Asset window.

2. Right-click the Asset Window and select Create > Material. This adds a new Material to your Unity Project’s Asset folder.

3. Click the Shader drop-down at the top of the Material Inspector, and select HDRP > Hair.

Refer to Hair Material Inspector reference for more information.

Create a Hair Shader Graph

To create a Hair material in Shader Graph, you can either:

• Modify an existing Shader Graph.

  1. Open the Shader Graph in the Shader Editor.
  2. In Graph Settings, select the HDRP Target. If there isn't one, go to Active Targets, click the Plus button, and select HDRP.
  3. In the Material drop-down, select Hair.

• Create a new Shader Graph.

  1. Go to Assets > Create >Shader Graph > HDRP and click Hair Shader Graph.

Refer to Hair Master Stack reference for more information.

Import the Hair Sample

HDRP comes with a Hair Material sample to further help you get started. To find this Sample:

1. Go to Windows > Package Manager, and select High Definition RP from the package list.
2. In the main window that shows the package's details, find the Samples section.
3. To import a Sample into your Project, click the Import into Project button. This creates a Samples folder in your Project and imports the Sample you selected into it. This is also where Unity imports any future Samples into.
4. In the Asset window, go to Samples > High Definition RP > 11.0 and open the Hair scene. Here you will see the hair sample material set up in-context with a scene, and available for you to use.
