Cataloged from PDF version of article.Human hair modeling and rendering have always been a challenging topic in
computer graphics. The techniques for human hair modeling consist of explicit
geometric models as well as volume density models. Recently, hybrid cluster
models have also been successful in this subject. In this study, we present a
novel three dimensional texture model called 3D Fuzzy Textures and algorithms
to generate them. Then, we use the developed model along with a cluster model
to give human hair complex hairstyles such as curly and wavy styles. Our model
requires little user effort to model curly and wavy hair styles. With this study,
we aim at eliminating the drawbacks of the volume density model and the cluster
hair model with 3D fuzzy textures. A three dimensional cylindrical texture mapping
function is introduced for mapping purposes. Current generation graphics
hardware is utilized in the design of rendering system enabling high performance
rendering.Aran, Medeni ErolM.S
