Abstract

In this chapter we introduce a new method for fast and high-quality rendering of hair and its associated data structure support for hair modeling. The method is capable of rendering sophisticated hair models in real time with high quality, both of which are key properties for the satisfactory running of a virtual hairy brush-based digital painting system. Why is hair rendering and modeling relevant and important for such a system? In the following, we try to answer this question from two major angles.
