I'm sick of unmoving hair that looks like it's made out of a single piece of plastic. If we get more realistic hair in games, that'd be great.

interesting

 

[The Alias]

this must be the new tomb raider effect amd told us about

 

[AdamK47]

So this is AMDs answer to Titan?

 

[notty22]

In the past, they probably alternate. Both companies have promised better hair techniques.

Asian graphics designers don't like this.

Another nonsensical post.

Another nonsensical post.

lol I'll add my own...

I found it slightly disturbing when I saw the name of the shampoo and thought "TRESemmé".

Anything that advances realism is a plus in my books, will it be something real and if so will it be proprietary? I wonder if it would work in existing games too!

 

[DiogoDX]

Nice. More realism is always welcome.

 

[blackened23]

This is almost as lame as the verdetrol thing was.

 

[ShadowOfMyself]

This is actually one of my big problems with current games (graphically speaking)... Even the best games usually have terrible static hair

I think only asian devs like Square and Capcom bother doing nice looking hair (the stuff on Luminous engine is looking great)

Its about time they started focusing on it

 

[DarkKnightDude]

Well, we'll see if they can deliver on that. Don't go celebrating yet till we see whatever it is. I think its going to be in Tomb Raider?

 

[Scooby Doo]

This would definitely be good for Sims and elder scrolls/fallout games. Nothing quite like having longhair that cuts through your shoulders

 

[VulgarDisplay]

Eat your heart out Physx.

Coming to 2 titles a year near you.

Because first person shooters, racing, RTS? doesn't need it. You simply can't see it. :hmm:

And why everyone should use this only for hair when Physx SDK has everything in one place?

It may be more than just good hair, but a full package similar to PhysX. We'll find out in a few days.

 

[parvadomus]

This is obviously aimed to counter physx. Well they already do with being on every console. Next years will be a real pain for nvidia.

well, it could be freedom-hair

 

[sefsefsefsef]

This is a few years old at this point, but this guy who recently joined the faculty at my school has done some excellent work in the area of real-time hair rendering:

He has other hair-related projects on his site, too.

Actually, the more AMD works on their software and application backbone, the better. They really needed to improve there.

 

[SirPauly]

Indeed! Interesting and desire to know more!

 

[SirPauly]

Very welcomed to see more abilities that may offer dynamic fidelity with GPU Processing!

 

[Final8ty]

I think there is some coincidence here.

Thanks! Awesome! So excited to see Havok talk about GPU Processing again! With more players, may finally break the chains of the static ways of the past.
