using 64 bicubic_patches...

Pentium 3 450Mhz, 192MB RAM, under Windows XP, GUI priority: highest, Render priority:

Not perfect at all, but I think this might be a useful technique for some
situations...
If I replace the bicubic_patches with cloth simulations textured in the same way,
maybe it
will look realistic enough to be used :)

How very non-POV. :)It looks quite interesting. Care to explain more about
how you did it?

hmmm, I'll try :)  It's actually very simple.  The problem with hair simulations is
that
it's very slow because there should be many object (one object per hair).  However,
from a
distance we don't see the individual hairs, so it isn't really necessary to render
them as
individual objects.  So I made a bicubic_patch, gave it a hairy texture (long scaled
wrinkles) that fades to transparant at the edges (using uv_mapping to 'find' the
edges),
and placed some of those around a sphere.  I really think if I replace the bicubic
patches
with a cloth simulation, the results can be very interesting and maybe very useful :)

It still isn't very quick, but the placement of the patches isn't really optimized in
this
image.  I believe that if I placed the patches by hand, only where they are needed,
and
used a simple non-transparent texture where you can't see the edges of the hair, it
would
take about 20 minutes or less to render acceptable hair...

I actually saw someone with hair like that (well it was black) at
the New Year's party I was at...

  Very fine and techie trick! I figure this hair would be very handy for 
Blobman models with alopecia problems.
