Stylized Hair Shader (tinynocky)

A free Blender hair shader shared by tinynocky, complete with a project file and a detailed walkthrough video so you can recreate the look and adapt it to your own characters.

Recreating the stylized hair look from Arcane used to require complex custom shader networks or hours of hand-painted textures.

tinynocky just released the Tiny Hair Shader for Blender—and there’s a free version you can download right now.

It gives you full procedural control over specular highlights, sheen, gradients, and strand properties in EEVEE and Cycles with just a few slider tweaks.

If you’re building stylized 3D characters, what’s the single hardest part of the workflow for you: hair, eyes, or skin shading?

Creator: tinynocky · Price: Free

You can grab the free project file/walkthrough or the full version directly on tinynocky’s Gumroad page. Works on Blender 3.4+ (EEVEE & Cycles), with node groups optimized for 4.2+.

Tools like tinynocky’s new Tiny Hair Shader are making production-ready Arcane-style character art accessible to solo creators everywhere.
