By utilizing minimal resources you can achieve high visual realism with sophisticated coloring, and adjustable reflections using the real-time shader. One complete hair set is merely hundreds or thousands of polygons, while using optimal texture sizes : hair at 2K and beard at 1K. The Smart Hair system is designed for performance: the card based meshes are small in size, fast to load, and efficient for real-time animation. One can adjust the Specular strength, alter the Reflection Flow, or disrupt the reflective pattern to emphasize unique hairstyles. The natural reflections gives hair a healthy lifelike look and feel. The Highlight Color effect is the highlighting done with hair dyes that we see in reality Two highlight colors can be blended to create more natural looks, with the ID texture map controlling the effect.
The strand color pattern is defined by the grey-scale Root map, and supports different blend modes and strength controls. Create subtle gradual hair color fades using Root and End colors, usually from darker tones at the roots to a lighter tone towards the hair tips for a classic ombré style. For natural layer contrast, you can use lighter vertex color on upper layer meshes, and darker vertex color for layers underneath. Blend with vertex color (predefined in hair meshes) for enhanced depth effect. With these potent effects you can easily create chic or stylized hair dye, create silky smooth hair reflections, simulate silver gray, or parched look and feel.
Design components allow you to freely assemble different custom hair and beard elements into unique hairstyles, while the beard and brows can dynamically conform to any facial movement.Ĭreating a multitude of natural hair looks is possible with four powerful controls: Ombré (root and end color), Balayage (highlight color), Base Layer (vertex color), and Reflection (flow map).
The highly flexible color gradients and specular variations are powered by the Smart Hair shader. The card-based hair meshes are intricate in detail, economical in texture resolution, and efficient for real-time rendering. The embedded Smart Hair system is designed to provide the most realistic, yet performance-friendly hair, brows, and beard for digital humans in games and films.
