NVIDIA HairWorks 1.1 by Tarkan Sarim

Long Hair simulated and rendered in real-time using NVIDIA HairWorks 1.1. The High Quality version is using roughly 500k hair. If you click Tarkan's link below you can see more videos as well as a version with roughly 22k hair.
Note: This video was recorded on a GTX980 with Shadowplay

LOOKS SICK! And all you need to run a game with this is 4 Titan X's!

The average human head has about 100, 000 hairs. 

"The High Quality version is using roughly 500k hair."

Realer than life CONFIRMED.

Does it come with compiled .dll files that slow down AMD?

[Sandesnor]

It fuckings fps drops on your own video?

[dexx]

hair has always been a little awkward in games cool to see progress to fix that

[GraphicallyChallenged]

STOP ITS TO REAL! Also please don't use any more than 4xMSAA by default his time. 8x is pointless.

[tehhaldiniho]

sped up x4 so it looks smooth, just like batman clips oO otherwise, 0.5fps

[AngusKerman]

Soon they won't need people for shampoo commercials!!!

[deepelements]

This is beautiful stuff guys keep up the good work. I love hairworks!

[dennisz.]

So far so good... But how much fps will this cost?

[Darith]

80's Rock concert's are going to be a blast!

[gilflorendo]

Tarzan film brought me here. Tarkan Sarim youre awesome.

[StapledFish]

why is it that the average head of hair only has 100k hairs, but the demo uses roughly 500k hairs..?

[wurzle]

Motley Crue Simulator 2016 sure is coming along nicely

Doesn't look quite right, neither does the 22k version. i think perhaps it is the high number of single strands being so prominent. Real hair is slightly oily naturally and clings to other hairs to form locks. This hair, although the colour and tone is right does not cling together like ordinary hair. If you looked at the long hair on a teenage boy who was not mad keen on washing it every day you would see the normal look I am straining to describe.

This is not to take anything away from the attempt by Tarkan - well done - but are you yourself satisfied? Is this photorealistic?

[Banzay]

Fabulous 90's Californian surfer hair. Far out, dude!

[freenomon]

Tarkan, this is really awesome. I have some questions for you:

1. did you use xgen to generate the curves to be used in hairworks? (I guess hairworks grooming tools are good?)

2. does hair works use capsules for collision? just like for cloth in UE?

thank you!

What's the name of soundtrack? Thanks!

Pretty neat looking, too bad Google's compression artifacts ruin the effect. Need a high bit-rate version of this hosted somewhere.

We finally have the technology to remake Aquaman: Battle for Atlantis!
