Abstract

Hair is an important visual attribute characterizing the personal physical appearance and unique identity of individuals. The strong impact of hairstyles is noticeable in everyday life, movies and pictures – but also on digital models used e.g. in virtual reality (VR) environments, computer games or 3D productions for the film industry. However, representing hair is a critical issue in 3D games and production movies: the creation of complex, attractive virtual hairstyles using computer graphics tools requires a specialized know-how and is a long and tedious task even for professional 3D modelers. Therefore, the use of complex hairstyles is often avoided in favor of time-saving design choices.
