Abstract

Modeling and rendering human hair is an important and challenging issue in computer graphics. The main difficulty comes from the large number of hairs, the fine geometry of individual hairs, and the complex illumination interactions among hairs and surrounding objects. In this chapter, 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.
