Biography: David Xu
Abstract
Maya dynamic hair system is a collection of hair follicles, which control the attributes and curves associated with a particular hair clump, and how the hairs attach to a NURBS or polygonal surface.
In this presentation, Professor Xu will firstly demonstrate a realistic catman model with realistic hair he created. He will also demonstrate how to create NURBS curves, Paint Effects strokes and hair folicle, and how to use various attributes on a hair system for modifying the look and behavior of the hair. Finally, he will discuss how to use Maya dynamic hair system to model a realistic hairstyle, and how the visible result will be affected by both the hair follicles and hair system attributes.
