Abstract
Hair braids are widely used in various games and animated movies, thanks to their simplified representation and ease of animation. However, the existing research on modeling braids often relies on a limited dictionary of commonly seen hair braid patterns, constraining artists' ability to experiment by creating imaginary or creative hair braids. In this paper, we introduce a simple sketch-based interface for creating arbitrary hair braids. Our method employs a two-stage framework that first interprets a user-drawn sketch to extract the braid pattern. To accommodate arbitrarily drawn sketches, we then use a physics-inspired simulation to generate visually pleasing braids. In addition to automatically generating braids, our system allows users to interactively refine the braid pattern to create braids that match the user's imagination, facilitating experimentation and exploration of different braid structures.
