The Principled Hair BSDF is a physically-based, easy-to-use shader for rendering hair and fur.

BSDF シェーダー

ｉTip

Realistic hair should have a minimum of variance between each strand. The shader allows for this by specifying two values, Random Color and Random Roughness, which remap the specified Melanin/Roughness values to the range Color / Roughness ± Randomization%

Inputs

● Color

The RGB color of the strand. Only used in Direct coloring.
カラーを設定します。

＋Hint

The chosen color is converted to an absorption coefficient with the following formula (section 4.2 of [CBTB16]):

σ_a = ln(Color) / (5.969 − 0.215β_N + 2.532β²_N − 10.73β³_N + 5.574β⁴_N + 0.245β⁵_N)²

where β_N is the radial roughness of the hair after applying randomization (if specified).

● Melanin

Absolute quantity of pigment. Range [0,1] equivalent to [0%,100%].
値 (0.0 - 1.0) を設定します。

＋Hint

This is a linear mapping to the underlying exponential function:

melanin_qty = −ln(max(1.0 − Melanin, 0.0001))

../../../_images/render_shader-nodes_shader_hair-principled_demo-melanin.jpg
Melanin.

● Melanin Redness

Ratio of pheomelanin to eumelanin. Range [0,1] equivalent to [0%,100%].
値 (0.0 - 1.0) を設定します。

＋Hint

The ratio formula is:

eumelanin = Melanin ∗ (1.0 − MelaninRedness)
pheomelanin = Melanin ∗ MelaninRedness

The resulting quantities are converted (after randomization, if specified) to absorption concentration via the following formula (section 6.1 of [EFHLA11], adjusted for the range [0,1]):

'''σ_a = eumelanin ∗ (0.506, 0.841, 1.653) + pheomelanin''' ∗ (0.343, 0.733, 1.924)

Melanin Redness.

● Tint

Color used for dyeing the hair after applying the melanin pigment. It is not subject to randomization. It can be disabled by setting the color to white.
値 (0.0 - 1.0) を設定します。

＋Hint

This is converted via the Color mapping above and added to the absorption coefficient of the melanin concentration.

● Absorption Coefficient

● Roughness

Specify how much the glints are smoothed in the direction of the hair shaft. Too low values will smoothen the hair to the point of looking almost metallic, making glints look like Fireflies; while setting it too high will result in a Lambertian look.

Roughness.

● Radial Roughness

Specify how much the glints are smoothed in the direction of the hair tangent. Too low values will concentrate the glint; while setting it too high will spread the light across the width of the strand.
値 (0.0 - 1.0) を設定します。

＋Hint

Mathematically, this parameter is mapped to the logistic distribution’s scale factor s (section 4.1 of [CBTB16]).

Radial Roughness.

● Coat

Simulate a shiny coat of fur, by reducing the Roughness to the given factor only for the first light bounce (diffuse). Range [0,1] equivalent to a reduction of [0%,100%] of the original Roughness.
値 (0.0 - 1.0) を設定します。

Coat.

● IOR

Index of refraction (IOR) defining how much the ray changes direction. At 1.0 rays pass straight through like in a transparent material; higher values give more refraction. Default value is 1.55.
値 (0.0 - 1.0) を設定します。

● Offset

Tilts the glint of the hair by increasing the angle of the scales of the hair’s cuticle with respect to the hair shaft. Human hair usually has low values.
値 (0.0 - 1.0) を設定します。

● Random Color

For each strand, vary the melanin concentration by RandomFactor. Range [0,1] equivalent to [0%,100%] of the initial melanin concentration.
値 (0.0 - 1.0) を設定します。

＋Hint

The melanin concentration is multiplied by randomFactor, where
randomFactor = 1.0 + 2.0 ∗ (Random −0.5) ∗ RandomColor

../../../_images/render_shader-nodes_shader_hair-principled_demo-random-color.jpg
Random Color.

● Random Roughness

For each strand, vary both Roughness values by RandomFactor. Range [0,1] equivalent to [0%,100%] of the initial roughness values.
値 (0.0 - 1.0) を設定します。

＋Hint

The applied formula is the same one as for Random Color.

● Random

Random number source. If no node is connected here, it is automatically instanced with the value obtained from Hair Info ‣ Random.
Hair Info Node の Random
値 (0.0 - 1.0) を設定します。

Properties

Color Parametrization

The shader provides three different ways, or parametrizations, to color the hair strands.

Direct Coloring

Choose the desired RGB color and the shader will approximate the necessary absorption coefficient (below).

Melanin Concentration

This mode defines the color as the quantity and ratio of the pigments which are commonly found in hair and fur, eumelanin (prevalent in brown-black hair) and pheomelanin (red hair). The quantity is specified in the Melanin input, and the ratio between them in Melanin Redness. Increasing concentrations darken the hair (the following are with Melanin Redness 1):

• White (Melanin 0)
• Blonde (Melanin 0.25)
• Reddish (Melanin 0.5)
• Brown (Melanin 0.75)
• Black (Melanin 1)

Additionally, the Tint inputs allows to dye the hair with the desired color.

Absorption Coefficient

Specifies the attenuation coefficient σ_a, as applied by the Beer-Lambert law. This mode is intended mainly for technical users who want to use coefficients from the literature without any sort of conversion.
