2. Lslib by Norbyte
  1. For conforming your custom hair to a vanilla hair
3. BG3 Multi-Tool by ShinyHobo
  1. For searching the game files
4. Collada/GR2 import/export Blender plugin by Norbyte
  1. For importing/exporting .GR2 files, which BG3 uses
5. VSCode or Notepad++
  1. For editing code files
Hair Mod Mesh Setup
1. This is where you set up the mesh itself, which is the visible part of your hair.
Hair Mod File Setup

Package your mod for installation
Profit!
