Interactive Hair Simulation with Neural Physics

An NVIDIA research paper showcases a method that can simulate tens of thousands of hairs in high resolution and in real time using neural physics, an AI technique that teaches a neural network to predict how an object would move in the real world.

This tech is being used on an upcoming game developed by NCSoft called PROJECT M, the concept that you see in see in this video is from that game

This is amazing. Great job, nvidia. You guys are always impressive

[ajdarseidzade]

Amazing! This is amazing! It looks like a real personю :)

[danko]

Amazing, i hope the researcher gets a pay raise for this. Is this official channel of Nvidia?

[josiahgil]

I wish nvidia could get something like this working in their omniverse blender addon, or using geometry nodes if that's even possible.

[jaybeckham]

Absolutely mad! Any papers on this yet?

[tuna]

Does it work calculating each piece with accurate physics? How will gpus cope with that kind of computing power?

[hrantgultekin]

Any common way to use this for real pictures and prevent hair removing time consume?

[davidhayter]

The french dev who created that, received an award. It seems that this tech is being used by Rockstar in GTA 6. The bikini girl from the trailer showed similar behavior

[sephirothcloud]

What program are they using? In top left i can see RTX Realtime so probably is a program of Omniverse but which one?

[yadav-r]

is there a SDK to implement this in UE5

[mctuble]

It wont be long until there are barber shop simulators and the sims character creation using this lol

[JoshyLats]

This is not an AI technique. Purely calculated physics per frame.

[sim_to_real]

If we do a project to create complete meta-human in the future, this repository will definitely be used.

What the duck is a “neutral physics”!!??

[josiahgil]

Please implement hair physics into omniverse, or into the omniverse addon for blender, because blender's hair physics are jittery and unusable for character animation.
