Could you build this?

Partial The UI and export pipeline are buildable, but generating good stylized hair cards from one image requires hair segmentation and reconstruction models that vibe coding alone won't produce at quality.

What it would actually take: A real version would chain a hair segmentation model, a monocular hair-strand or card reconstruction model, and a texture/alpha generator, probably using pretrained diffusion or 3D reconstruction models. The output needs to be rigged or exported in animation-ready formats such as FBX or Unity/Unreal card assets. Getting clean results needs ML and computer-graphics expertise and GPU infrastructure for inference.
