AMD is thankfully pimping some new jaw dropping graphics tech and this time it’s in the form of hair. Yes hair, that thing I would assume all animators hate to animate is now getting some help coming to life with a little physics and AMD’s tressfx wizardry which seriously sounds like a bad SNL hair care product. Yesterday AMD teased we would see something and now we find out they worked with Crystal Dynamics to use tressfx in their latest Tomb Raider origin/reboot game and just looking at the screenshots while the standard hair looks great that tressfx hair is even better. We still think it looks a bit off when there’s individual strands of hair by themselves but overall it’s very impressive tech. Our only real gripe is since this sounds locked to AMD video cards it would be nice to see this for open for all players. Check out the screenshots below and tell us what you think, better or worse or who cares!
