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 …

Simulating human hair is recognized as one of the most difficult tasks in computer animation.
In this paper, we show that the Kirchhoff equations for dynamic, inextensible elastic rods can …

This paper presents a novel approach that uses graphics hardware to dynamically calculate
a voxel-based representation of a scene. The voxelization is obtained on run-time in the …

In this paper, we propose a novel image-based approach to model hair geometry from
images taken at multiple viewpoints. Unlike previous hair modeling techniques that require …

We present a new framework for simulating dynamic movements of complex hairstyles. The
proposed framework, which treats hair as a collection of wisps, includes new approaches to …

When rendering light colored hair, multiple fiber scattering is essential for the right
perception of the overall hair color. In this context, we present a novel technique to efficiently …

We present a new method for rapidly computing shadows from semi‐transparent objects like
hair. Our deep opacity maps method extends the concept of opacity shadow maps by using …

We introduce a novel method for describing and controlling a 3D smoke simulation. Using
harmonic analysis and principal component analysis, we define an underlying description of …

User interaction with animated hair is desirable for various applications but difficult because
it requires real-time animation and rendering of hair. Hair modeling, in cluding styling …

The last six years has seen a renaissance in hair modeling, rendering and animation. This
course covers the gamut of hair simulation problems and present working solutions, from …
