Question

I have a 3D head model. How can I add hair? I only need to draw hair and animation is not required.

Could anyone provide some sample code? What is the simplest way to simulate hair in this case?

Edit:

I understand this is not a programming problem. But I have to implement it as my project. I searched online, which makes me more confusing. That is why I asked here.

Answer 1

Static hair can be rendered in a variety of ways depending on your needs:

• Using a polygonal model. This gives hair that looks like what the characters from Dragon Ball or Yugi Oh! have.
• Using a fur rendering algorithm. This is a very fill-rate intensive process.
• Using multiple disjointed polygonal models. This works well for dreaded hair and in general hair which isn’t too “fluffy”.

These are just from the top of my head. There are most likely other algorithms out there. Also, as cbamber85, hair rendering is indeed a research field in itself!
