We present a novel approach for adaptively grouping and subdividing hair using discrete level-of-detail (LOD) representations. The set of discrete LODs include hair strands, clust...
We explore the emerging application area of physics-based simulation for computer animation and visual special effects. In particular, we examine its parallelization potential and...
