Simulation of Hair Appearance and Motion

Simulation of Hair Appearance and Motion provides a comprehensive overview of the most innovative techniques that have been developed in computer graphics for the realistic computer modeling of human hair at a macroscopic scale. Main applications include virtual entertainment (i.e., in games, simulations) and virtual prototyping (i.e., in cosmetology). Topics covered include hair structure, optics of hair, geometric hair styling, hair volume, simulating dynamics of hair interaction, lighting, and shadowing in hair.
