AMD unveils TressFX hair rendering technology (pics)

With a name of Geforcepat, you bought AMD??? Is it for you?

You mean you don't find it a little disturbing when characters have, what looks like, a full head of flowing hair and when they move their head... it turns into a hat? I think it is great that we have enough power in the graphics cards so that our hero characters can have great looking hair. It adds to the detail for me. Honestly I would not have thought anything of it (besides the normal notice oh waving block ponytail), but not that I have seen the strands... I cannot go back.

I think Skin textures have come a long way, but sometimes even when it can look more real I think some designers like to produce something more stylized because other aspects of the character might hurt because all the hardware to make "realistic" characters is just not yet available in realtime at a consumer level price point.

I'm so looking forward to the Live Stream next week!!!
