Every Hair Dynamically Rendered!: Square Enix's DirectX12 Tech Demo


Square Enix shared an absolutely fantastic tech demo the other day. It depicts a scene from Final Fantasy XV that appears to be a cutscene but is actually rendered in real time! Each hair on a womans head is said to be individually rendered, shaded, and affected by physics.

This kind of technology is going to take a while to make it to the mainstream as this is being run on a machine with quad GTX Titan Xs but it is a rather exciting thing to look forward to in around 5 years or so. The top of hill at the end of the uncanny valley is finally within view!
