Abstract
This paper presents a new powerful method for hair-image generation. A simplified computer graphics (CG) model of human hair is presented to describe and render various kinds of hair images with a small number of parameters. Practical methods for handling hair styles and for generating realistic images are presented. A notable feature of the proposed method is that it is run on the conventional z-buffer algorithm. Experiments have proven that the proposed algorithm is very useful for generating various human-hair images.
