Curly-Cue: Geometric Methods for Highly Coiled Hair
In Proceedings of SIGGRAPH Asia, 2024
Different features become visually relevant when hairs are well-approximated by high-frequency helices instead of low-frequency curves, so we present algorithms for three such phenomena. First, a Fourier-based method for phase locking, the process by which disparate helices near the scalp coalesce into a single curl. By applying all three methods in tandem, we show that we can achieve richly detailed depictions of highly coiled hair.
