Abstract:
A surface definition module of a hair/fur pipeline may be used to define a surface and an optimization module may be used to: create a bounding box for a set of hairs; determine whether the bounding box is visible; and if the bounding box is visible, hair associated with the visible bounding box is rendered upon the surface.
