CHEAP HAIR SHADER

[ Hair rendered using a cheap shader ]

Cheap hair shader uses a basic Blinn model to quickly simulate light scattering by hair strands. One of the optimizations includes the fact that this (or any other Ornatrix) shader doesn't process surface normals, but rather hair tangents to produce its shading result. This saves time and allows for numerical simplicity.

Parameters:

Parameters are much the same as any other 3dsmax shader:

Specular power - Controls the 'sharpness' of specular reflections

Specular level - Controls how much specular reflection is introduced (actually this is a multiplier for the specular reflection).
