3D Studio Max Plugin Shag: Hair

Shag:Hair is a revolutionary new plug-in system used to add hair and fur to any 3D object. Since it does not actually create geometry for individual hairs, it renders extremely fast, but is still capable of casting and receiving shadows and hilights. From the same team that brought you Shag: Fur comes another must-have plug-in for 3D Studio MAX character and creature animators.

Shag: Hair is the next step in procedural coiffures and expands on the concept of strand generation, this time giving the users complete control over the shape and style of the hairs. Shag: Hair allows you to draw out individual “control” strands that will define the look, so if you need extra curly, long hair, flowing hair or a mohawk, you can draw out a number of standard 3D Studio MAX splines over your geometry to describe what you want. Shag: Hair will then interpolate between the strands and the selected surface to create a complete style. Plus, Shag: Hair has the added advantage of its own built-in dynamics engine, so that as your character or creature moves, the hair will flow realistically, even to the point of accurately colliding with surrounding geometry!

Plus Shag: Hair comes with a dynamically enhanced version of Shag: Fur for all of your furry needs. In no time, you will become a virtual stylist!
