Abstract
We introduce Digital Salon, a comprehensive hair authoring system that supports real-time 3D hair generation, simulation, and rendering. Unlike existing methods that focus on isolated parts of 3D hair modeling and involve a heavy computation process or network training, Digital Salon offers a holistic and interactive system that lowers the technical barriers of 3D hair modeling through natural language-based interaction. The system guides users through four key stages: text-guided hair retrieval, real-time hair simulation, interactive hair refinement, and hair-conditioned image generation. This cohesive workflow makes advanced hair design accessible to users of varying skill levels and dramatically streamlines the creative process in digital media with an intuitive, versatile, and efficient solution for hair modeling. User studies show that our system can outperform traditional hair…
