碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 多媒體工程研究所 === 100 === In comics and cartoons animation, hair is a strong vehicle for artists to express the personality, emotion, and style of the character. In this thesis, we present a real-time rendering technique for the hair animation of comic and cartoon styles hair. We first take a set of dynamic particles to generate the animated hair strands. Then we use a stylized line-based rendering technique performing on the generated hair strands to generate the stylized hair strokes that imitate the comic drawings. The stroke effects we generate include silhouettes, cel-shading, highlights, and other comic effects. Strokes generation and rendering are performed on GPU and utilize the advance of graphics hardware to improve the performance.
