GPU Hierarchies for Hair Simulation Qi Mo COMP

GPU Hierarchies for Hair Simulation Qi Mo COMP 768 course project proposal

Motivation

Hair Modeling 101 • Styling • Simulation • Rendering Hair style, motion, and appearance

Interactive Methods • Real-time approximations - thin shell volume [Kim and Neumann 2000] - 2 D strips [Koh and Huang 2000, 2001] • Level-of-detail methods

Level-of-Detail • LOD geometry - wisp - strip-cluster-strand • SLOD - AWT

Project Goals • Short term - GPU hierarchies for hair collision detection - handle hair equilibrium state • Long term - simple spring mass hair dynamics - simulation LOD with collision criteria • Remote - LODs on Kerchnoff equation

Timeline & checkpoints • 04/07/2009 - short term goal • 05/05/2009 - long term goal
