Tangled Hair

Tangled Hair Video

I'm really interested in animation, and over the break I saw Disney's 50th animation "Tangled." It is an amazing movie, not only because of the story and characters, but the animation is amazing for it. One interesting thing I've looked into is the hair for Rapunzel. Hair is incredibly hard to do with Computer animation, and the video up there is an amazing look into how they simulated the hair. It is amazing what they were able to do to combine the hair artistically with the programming that had to go behind the hair.



If you watch the video, it is such an incredible undertaking. Hair is so complicated, and it has so many parts that interact with each other takes some serious computing power. The way they solved that problem by in part only simulating parts of the hair that you could see in the shot, really inspired me. It is definelty the most realistic hair in a CG character.
