Pretty exciting I must say!

Looks like TressFX can be used for other rendering tasks besides hair and physics simulation as well, like vegetation. No information about other titles using the technology was disclosed, though (I guess) AMD might be offering TressFX to game devs through its AMD Gaming Evolved program.

Here is some screenshots showing the difference between normal hair rendering and with TressFX. Sadly there’s no videos showing the effect of her hair moving through the wind.tress_before_after1 lara_3frame tress_before_after3

TressFX

I guess it’s something related to physics calculated on GPU. Anyway, is nice to see new features coming up, there’s also another top secret DirectX 11 feature going to make its debut on upcoming Tomb Raider game, which is an AMD Gaming Evolved title. Maybe they’re related? We’ll see…
