\"Hair\" Cinema 4D module

Maxon today announced "," what it claims is the first completely integrated professional Cinema 4D module for the creation of hair, fur and feathers. The new module lets users quickly and easily add realistic looking hair to objects, which can be styled using the module's extensive tool palette. A custom 3D shader gives artists complete control over the appearance of the hair, and the toolset harbors over a dozen tools, such as brush, comb, curl and cut. The module also offers shine, frizz, and thickness properties with a texture that can be loaded to define the color pattern for hair. Collision detection can be used while styling and animating hair, along with forces such as gravity, wind, turbulence or twist. Hair also offers cache functionality that simplifies viewing the effects of dynamics or preparing a file for network rendering, and individual frames can be edited after they've been cached. HAIR is available for $300 until December 31st, after which the module will be priced at $400.
