Could you build this?
Partial The UI and modeling workflow can be vibe-coded, but generating voluminous hair with clean topology needs specialized geometry and procedural-modeling algorithms that AI-assisted coding will not reliably produce.
What it would actually take: The core would be a 3D mesh engine (for example, a Three.js or Blender-style stack) with a procedural strand or card-based hair generator and retopology. The hard parts are the algorithms for clean quad topology and volume shaping, which call for computer-graphics expertise and iteration against real artist workflows.
