| Abstract;Many researches have been conducted in hair modeling and hair rendering with considerable success. However, the immense number of hair strands present means that memory and CPU time requirements are very severe. To reduce the memory and the time needed for hair modeling and rendering, a background and surface hair algorithm is proposed. Instead of using thousands of thin hairs, the memory usage and hair modeling time can be reduced by using background and surface hairs. The background hairs can be constructed by using thick hairs. To improve the look of the hair model, the background hairs near the surface is broken down into numerous thin hairs and rendered. A visible volume buffer is used to determine the surface hairs. The rendering time of the background and surface hairs is found to be faster than conventional hair model by a factor of more than two. (author abst.) |
