Realistic hair modeling is a fundamental part of creating virtual humans in computer
graphics. This paper surveys the state of the art in the major topics of hair modeling:
hairstyling, hair simulation, and hair rendering. Because of the difficult, often unsolved
problems that arise in alt these areas, a broad diversity of approaches is used, each with
strengths that make it appropriate for particular applications. We discuss each of these major
topics in turn, presenting the unique challenges facing each area and describing solutions …
