In some virtual reality systems,such as simulated human body model,computer games and stunts in movies,there is a need of hair modeling.This paper presents a survey on the technologies of hair modeling in computer virtual reality,with a detailed introduction to the main employed methods in the field.The process of generating a hair image is very complex and slow,because of the extremely huge number of hair strands and inherent properties of hair.In order to solve these problems,it's worth while to study this technology.The main methods for simulating hair are: direct model,volumetric texture model,wisp model and loosely connected particle system,etc.To reduce time and computation cost,this paper proposes a hair modeling method based on particle system.
