Smooth Guide Hair Interpolation for Procedural Grooming

Most recent animated films such as Peter Rabbit 2 or DC League of Super-Pets come to life with many hairy and furry characters. In this project we will build on recent advances in computer graphics to develop better tools for grooming hair and fur. We aim to improve the experience of artists in the animation and visual effects industries by reducing the time spent manually grooming hair and by providing tools to deal with complicated geometries such as the corner of a character’s mouth. Animal Logic will benefit from freeing up artists’ time and energy to focus more on storytelling and less on meticulously grooming each character.
