fluffy torus

Nikolaus Gradwohl2016-07-04T04:49:07+00:00

For this animation I added a hair particle system to a torus and made the hair move by a turbulence forcefied which is rotating along the x and z axis.

cube child hair experiment

Nikolaus Gradwohl2016-06-21T09:37:27+00:00

For this animation I used a hair particle system with some child particles emitted form a cube in blender. The hair gets influenced by different forcefields over time. The child particles on the left side of the cube didn't work as expected. I will make some more experiments and try to fix this.

blender curve experiment - curly hair with cycles

Nikolaus Gradwohl2012-05-05T07:40:33+00:00

First of all - no, cycles still has no hair or particle renderer - BUT To render short hair that doesn't need hair-dynamics you can use object groups to render the hair.

I made some spirales and deformed them using the proportional editing tool with random influence, grouped them together and used them as dubliobjects in a hair particle system on the head figure

curly hair

The need to have a bevel value and bevel has to be set to full for this to work.

Still not perfect, because of the lack of hair-dynamics, but very nice for some cartoony characters or still images.
