Hair is bound to the model, and "support Compute Skin Cache" should be enabled in the project settings.
When importing the project, keep the file directory structure intact to ensure all linked resources are correctly loaded.
For the hair material, it's recommended to adjust brightness and reflection based on scene lighting.
