Procedural Hair Generation

This paper presents a hair generation technique for cartoon and Anime characters. The main goal of this work is to provide a procedural generation technique, robust enough in order to create different types of hairs. We propose a parametric model that can produce diversity of obtained results through parameters variation. The model is organized in three steps: firstly, the strands generation, followed by positioning them in the head of the characters. Finally, the third step is responsible for providing cartoon rendering, including common characteristics in cartoon shading, as the black edges and solid colors. Visual inspection of obtained results indicate that generated hairs are coherent with expected in terms of visual aspects.
