1. Create a personal API key

5. You can Rename or Revoke any active key later from the same dialog without affecting other keys.

2. Configure Blender preferences

1. In Blender, open Edit → Preferences → Add-ons and install/enable the KardMesh addon (Import-Export: KardMesh).
2. Expand the KardMesh preferences panel:
   • API URL: https://api.kardmesh.com (HTTPS is required for all non-localhost endpoints).
   • API key: Paste your personal km_... token.

3. Generate & import hair cards

1. Open Blender’s Image Editor and open the right-hand sidebar (N key) → KardMesh tab.
2. Pick your source character image (Image) and configure Variations (1–4), Steps (Fast 10 or Quality 50), Guidance (1.0–4.0), Colors, and VRM Bones.
3. Click Submit to KardMesh to reserve credits and start the GPU job.
4. Click Refresh status until completed, then import the resulting hair card meshes directly into your current Blender scene.

If you lose or compromise a key, revoke it immediately in Addon API keys and generate a new one. Need help? Contact hello@m.kardmesh.com.
