Fur visualisation for computer game engines and real-time rendering

Abstract

In this paper there is a method of real-time rendering of fur presented. Physical-based properties of a hair and fur strands are analysed. The work develops shell based method of rendering hair and fur, by new approach to strand modelling and rendering. Thanks to using efficient algorithms the presented method works in interactive, on-line mode and is less demanding in terms of an artist work. Thus it could be used in the production process of real-time rendering applications and computer games of various genres.
