Introduction

One of most difficult processes in character making is the creation of hair. The process is tedious and most of the time a pain in the ass especially when creating realistic characters.

Basically, hair creation can be divided into 2 methods. The first method is by using transparency mapping and second, by using a 3rd party hair renderer. If you work in big players like Squaresoft, they have software engineers to write propriety plugins to generate realistic hair. Both methods employ tedious hardwork and each has its pros and cons.
