碩士 === 大葉大學 === 設計暨藝術學院碩士班 === 106 === As software and hardware technology matures, the development of visual effects has begun to replace early production approaches, which include prop making and special effects makeup. Imitations that are not easy to perceive do not only allow the audience to stay more focused on the plot, but also give creators more flexibility in expressing their ideas. However, there are plenty of elements in visual effects, ranging from overall color correction, background removal to interactive explosions between a scene and the characters, lightning and flames. The hair and fabrics on a character also belong to this domain. This study uses the element of hair as the foundation of creation. By analyzing the results, the study explores different types of hair and their growth process, and finally simulates them using a 3D model. The purpose of such creation in this study is to grasp the essence of creating animal hair. Through studying the basic concepts of real animal hair, the author hopes to apply the knowledge to future creations so that furry animals can look more real and natural.
