Systems and method for modeling hair in real-time with user interactive controls are presented. One embodiment may take the form of a method of hair motion modeling including representing hair with hair guides, each hair guide comprising a plurality of hair points and reducing a dimensionality of the hair guides to achieve a reduced sub-space. Additionally, the method includes generating a data tensor for multiple factors related to the hair guides and decomposing the tensor to create a model characterizing the multiple factors in a multi-linear hair framework. The hair may be hair, such as human hair, animal fur, or clothing fibers.
