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 …

Physically based deformable models have been widely embraced by the Computer
Graphics community. Many problems outlined in a previous survey by Gibson and Mirtich …

Strandsare thin elastic solids that are visually well approximated as smooth curves, and yet
possess essential physical behaviors characteristic of solid objects such as twisting …

Light scattering from hair is normally simulated in computer graphics using Kajiya and Kay's
classic phenomenological model. We have made new measurements of scattering from …

Pasting somebody's face into an existing image with traditional photo retouching and digital
image processing tools has only been possible if both images show the face from the same …

In this paper we address the difficult problem of hair dynamics, particularly hair‐hair and hair‐
air interactions. To model these interactions, we propose to consider hair volume as a …

Computer simulations play an ever growing role for the development of automotive products.
Assembly simulation, as well as many other processes, are used systematically even before …

This paper presents a practical approach to the animation of hair at an interactive frame rate.
In our approach, we model the hair as a set of particles that serve as sampling points for the …

Realistic animation of long human hair is difficult due to the number of hair strands and to
the complexity of their interactions. Existing methods remain limited to smooth, uniform, and …

We present a novel approach for adaptively grouping and subdividing hair using discrete
level-of-detail (LOD) representations. The set of discrete LODs include hair strands, clusters …
