# KardMesh

> KardMesh converts a single 2D character image into rigged 3D hair cards (`.OBJ`, `.GLB`, and `.VRM` avatars with spring bones) using GPU inference powered by the open-source HairDeck model, accessible from a web studio and an official Blender addon.

## Core Capabilities

- **Input**: PNG, JPEG, or WebP character image (up to 10 MB; images over 10 MB are compressed in the browser).
- **Exports**: ZIP archive containing static 3D meshes (`.OBJ`, `.GLB`), textures, and rigged `.VRM` avatars with spring bone chains for animation.
- **Controls**: Up to 4 variations per job, Quality (50 steps) or Speed (10 steps) priority, CFG adherence (`1.0` to `4.0`), custom seed, image color preservation, and optional animation spring bones.
- **Blender Addon**: Connect Blender directly to `https://api.kardmesh.com` with a personal API key created in the user account menu.
- **Commercial Rights**: Users receive full personal and commercial usage rights for generated 3D hair assets (games, VTubers, VRChat, animation, film).
