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.xi, 61 leaves, illustrationsEnglishinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessHair modelingHair renderingCurly hairWavy hairCluster hair modelVolume density model3D texture3D texture mappingT385 .A73 2007Computer graphics.ThesisBILKUTUPB099430
