Even now some of the older demos are pretty sweet.

More info on that hair:

New Dawns hair is a giant leap forward. Thanks to DirectX 11 tessellation, she has gone from a scant 1,700 strands to 40,000 soft locks of hair. Advanced shading allows her beautiful hair to move out of the jet-black color scheme. While still a brunette, youll see her hair gently flowing in the wind, reflecting and transmitting light from the environment.

Because hair is so thin, aliasing is a major problem. Traditional antialiasing doesn't work well here, as a strand is often smaller than a pixel and may not be picked up by any of the four-or-so sample points. To alleviate this problem, A New Dawn has a special hair smoothing shader that inspects each strand and blurs them in the combing direction.

hope it works at a decent framerate with my 6870... it probably wont...

Depends on the return of investment for allocating workhours to making complex hair graphics is sufficiently high. You have to be aware that this level of fidelity is presumably primarily funded by AMD and Crystal Dynamics wouldn't do it by their own volition.

If hair technology makes an impact in terms of sales or marketing, just like how a scripted sequence or a beautiful explosion in a E3 trailer or media preview can raise the hype, then the odds are pretty good.

Orbis won't be using DirectX11 API but it will have the functionality required.

Short hair do not move like that, unless there'a tornado, i guess.

How can you hate it? It still looks a million times better than the hair we usually get in games.

DirectX is a Microsoft API, so Orbis won't be using it. Both GPUs are capable of the same effects (IE: Tessellation) that are normally associated with DX11.

Even nVidia cards? Or just ati cards?

Well unless they use some obscure tricks to lock out non-AMD cards it should work on any DX11-compatible h/w - even on Intel integrated DX11 GPUs.

Haemi said:
As far as i know DirectCompute works on all Nvidia Cards that support CUDA.

Not really. There is a version of DC in DX11 that can be used on DX10 cards but I bet that AMD's using the one for DX11 cards.

Well i *hate it* in the context of it being a tech demo.
Of course i'd be happy with that kind of hair animation in current games.

Why isn't the hair dirty? They could have at least tried to make it not look like she just showered, all the time.

I don't know about you, but when i'm trapped on an island full of bandits I always make sure to stop and wash my hair frequently.

Games don't go for realism. They go for movie "realism."

The way everyone in this threads been asking for videos, I'd beg to differ mister/mam.

As long as the GIF is running at the full 33ish FPS, I feel it shows off the tech great.

Watch any post apocalyptic or ancient times movie or TV show. The women always have great hair.
