Physically-based Simulation of Hair Strips in Real-Time

In this paper, we present our implementation of physically-based simulation of hair strips. We used a mass-spring model followed by a hybrid approach where particle systems and the method of clustering of hair strands are employed. All the forces related to springs are implemented: gravity, repulsions from collisions (head and ground), absorption (ground only), frictions (ground and air), internal spring frictions. Real-time performance is achieved for physically-based simulation of hair strips and promising results in terms of the realistic hair behavior and hair rendering are obtained.
