Abstract: Modeling, designing and rendering realistic human hair is one of the most challenging topics in computer graphics. The difficulty mainly comes from the large amount of hair, the fine shapes of the individual hairs, and the complex illuminating interactions among hairs and surrounding objects. In this paper, an enhanced interactive hair styling system - V-HairStudio, based on our previous work, is developed to design complex hair styles represented by a hierarchical hair model. This design tool provides a rich set of functionalities with multiple levels of abstraction. Due to the hierarchical representation, complex hair styles can be handled with reduced design efforts.
