System Requirements
Last Updated: February 14, 2025“Can PixelHair run on my computer?” PixelHair is a digital asset designed to work seamlessly with Blender and export flawlessly to Unreal Engine’s MetaHuman. Built using Blender’s particle system, PixelHair performs reliably on any system that can run Blender and its particle system. However, it is important to note that rendering high-detail hair in Blender consumes significant memory. While this typically isn’t an issue for most computers, users with low-spec PCs should be aware that different hairstyles have varying memory requirements. In this documentation, we will explore methods to optimize hair so that it can be used effectively on both lower-end and higher-end systems.
