CGCookie - Blender - Styling and Rendering Long Hair with Blender and Cycles - Source files only

Realistic long hairstyles are notoriously difficult to achieve with computer graphics. Several professional plugins have been developed for other apps that are strictly devoted to strand styling and rendering. With Blender?s built-in tools we?re able to get very specific with our groom. This works by creating multiple particle systems, dialing in the robust kinking and randomization settings, and finally rendering cylindrical strands complete with physically correct lighting. When combining these tools with real-world observation and patience you?ll be turning heads with your digital hairdo!

Changing hair color is easy!

Using the strand shader created during the tutorial, changing the color is very easy. This allows you to create a range of variations quickly.
