This web content discusses the research presented at SIGGRAPH ASIA 2024 on generating highly coiled hairs using geometric methods. The study combines phase locking, period skipping, and switchback techniques to create detailed depictions of curly hair. The head model used in the research is based on Carvell Wallace, a New York Times bestselling author. The methods presented in the study allow for the generation of shapes characteristic of curly hair, with a focus on high-frequency helices. By applying all three techniques together, the researchers were able to achieve realistic and intricate representations of highly coiled hair.
