Houdini Autogroom Toolset

EARLY ACCESS

Skip the tedious setup phase of grooming and dive right into the creative process!

This toolset enables you to generate a basic groom from just the skin geometry and a single reference image (whether generated, hand-painted, or photobashed). In seconds, it constructs guides and clumps that align the groom with your chosen reference image, letting you move immediately to refining and personalizing the look.
