Hairs are in the air it seems ;-)
Wanting to have a POV-Ray alternative to Poser's dynamic hairs and
especially beards, I concocted something fairly simple, different from
Robert McGregor's SweepSplineHair macro. It works well for short hair
but would be not so good for long hair. Best use is for beards and that
is my aim. This version looks acceptable imo. Using 40k hairs on the
skull and 30k hairs for the beard. Basic hair is one mesh2 strand.

Not bad, I think the hair at the top of the chin is poking out too much should
be angled slightly downwards.

Yes. At this moment, everything is more or less automated but I need to
build in more local control, by introducing evalpig().

Sweet! Now make the beard black, a little thicker and "shaggier"
(randomized hair length depending on position), and you'll get an
awesome Afghan!

<grin> My method would not be so good for that. I need to see if the
glitch I experience in Poser is repairable, then with dynamic hair it
would be possible.

Better than I thought, with a slightly curly hair (same as previous) but
longer, and in an unkempt, rough fashion.

Real beard hair (in most men) would be coarser, more like wire (at least
my beard looks that way)... this guy's is too fluffy!

Looking at my own beard, the edge on the sheeks is WAY to deffined.
Beards usualy don't stop at a well deffined line.

Is that with aid of Poser or without?
Might need a beard for some client of mine soon.

My own beard is coarser too indeed :-)
I am messing around presently. It is all a matter of finding the correct
length/diameter ratio. If I increase the diameter too much in this
example, the hairs look like a bunch of deformed cones and loose their
hair-like aspect.

True. Only when the cheeks are shaven ;-)
I am bound by the 'beard cap' provided by Poser. Alternative is to make
my own beard cap which covers also the cheeks. Possible, but a bit more
work. Presently, it is the concept I am exploring.

Some further iterations further in the concept with a couple more
randomizations.

Having it as long as this guy almost certainly means eating hairs for
dinner (that they are still attached does not make life more pleasant).

See also #5 in
http://www.cracked.com/blog/a-guide-to-the-modern-moustache/ :-)
but you are right of course. I do the same.
A further development of this technique needs to discriminate between
different face sections. This will be done with help from evalpig() and
colour coded beard caps.

I start to wonder about the percentage of bearded men among POVers (and
raytracerers in general)... it feels that it is significantly higher
than among the general population (of whatever country, perhaps except
Afghanistan and Pakistan), same like probably with programmers,
astronomers and amateur electronic engineers!

So, Cracked is trying to get me to conform by telling me, essentially, that I'm
defective because of what grows naturally on me?
No, I don't have a mustache because I'm retro or a hipster. I have one because
it grew there all by itself, and I haven't taken the active measure to get rid
of it.

My beard is just... scraggly and pathetic, so I normally just shave it off.

Yes, then pose him in a The Thinker pose with a dog-tag around his neck
with "Sphere" written on it.
Then you have a "reflecting" Sphere.

Put just a tiny bit of his friend Ray in the scene too.

Maybe graffiti on the 'plane: "Ray was here" with about 2/3 of the name
obscured by a wing or the figure or something.
The 'plane could also be a paper 'plane constructed solely from the CSG of
planes.

HMmmmmm. The meta thing. It's got potential.

Just a plain plane made of planes.
