Theodore Kim at Yale and A.M. Darke at the University of California at Santa Cruz, calculated an algorithm to simulate Afro-textured hair, the first and only of its kind. Their paper about the algorithm, titled “Curly-Cue: Geometric Methods for Highly Coiled Hair,” was co-authored by two of Kim’s doctoral students, Haomiao Wu and Alvin Shi, and released online in October. It will be officially published and presented at Siggraph Asia, one of the world’s most prestigious computer graphics conferences, in December.
