Hair Simulation with NVIDIA HairWorks 1.1

NVIDIA HairWorks makes it easy to bring hair and fur to life—in real-time! With HairWorks version 1.1, NVIDIA has added support for authoring, rendering, and simulation of long-hair assets. Since HairWorks is using DX11 for rendering/simulation, it can run on any DX11 capable GPU.

Plot twist: you need titan x sli to get 60 fps

Should've called it FlufflyWorks.

Hairworks in the Witcher felt like it hardly moved as much as it should have :/

[Diffide]

Aye Nvidia how about that Batman AK. #NeverForget #SmoothAsCanBe

Come back when it doesn't kill my framerate.

Unreal Engine : New Physics Update.

Nvidia: I did that 10 years ago.

Hairworks looks so realistic and adds life into video games like The Witcher 3. Makes their hair not look like a lifeless object, but it flows with the wind and movement. I can't believe how much Gameworks affects video games though. I only really realized AFTER getting an NVIDIA GPU and selling my AMD one. I played The Witcher 3, and it is a lot more stable on my new GPU. Just small things like the frost on the Wild Hunt seems to use NVIDIA coding to render optimally. And in The Witcher 3, it has physX, which can't be set manually, the game automatically adjusts it.

''Hairworks has been used in many games" literally only 3 games 😂👌

Hi there. I switched from a PS4 (after having it for 1, 5 years) to MSi GT72 Dominator Pro gaming laptop sporting the GTX 980m 8GB and I am very satisfied with my decision. I just wanted to say HI to the folks at nVidia. Keep up the good work.

Honestly, this will be of some real use... In the near future. When you find a way to make the Titans to be very powerful yet also very afforable. :P

[SpurnOfHumanity]

What's wrong with people in the comments? It runs just fine.

[GStefanes_]

Would be so cool if these gameworks features actually worked and weren't optimized like shit, just imagine, a world where you dont need 980ti or titan x sli to get 60+ fps with these things turned on
Woooow

It may have a small memory footprint, but currently the render footprint is gargantuan.  Even just having Hairworks in The Witcher 3 limited to Geralt literally halves my framerate.

[animusk]

Its very impressive but seems kind of out of place in the witcher 3 when the monsters you fight seem to use Herbal Essence, or maybe they're using head and shoulders who knows...

[LLPTV]

Too L'orealistic for me. Ever heard of friction?

[EvotechDesign]

I like it, but it doesn`t look real. And the fps...

[ststephen]

Nvidia please release a driver to let older gpus then the 400 series support windows 10

[dissidentjv]

the problem is that it is too soft for the wolf for example would require stiffer hairs that would be more realistic.

[AlfaHazard]

I hope that with REDKit2 we'll be able to do our own Hairworks grooms and import them into Witcher 3.

Every main character apart from Geralt lacks Hairworks, this needs to be fixed.

About time that they were spending time on fur/hairs in games. It's a must for the new generation of gaming. More realistic
