I am beginning to like AMD lately. Nvidia dudes, even though they make great video cards, are to cocky, so I think that AMD needs to do better in order to shut the mouth of nvidia. I think it is a step in the right direction. This is the first time I see them creating rendering tech for games.

Hopefully we will see this tech applied to the PS4 and most probable the 720 in order to have better looking games.

to be honest, Nvidia deserves to be cocky, but I never thought they are, I don't follow their blogs as much as Intel.

So TressFX is just hair?

I find myself underwhelmed. I've seen a few TressFX threads but never thought to click in on them till now only to find out it isn't a new gaming engine built from the ground up for the nextbox and ps4, it is in fact just hair.

I obviously let my assumptions get ahead of me and now this. Stupid brain.

its more important than just an engine,

its a technology to be used by developers to enable more realistic hair, engines are just the programs that uses these technologies

there is also one for realistic trees (used in Skyrim and Halo)

one for realistic Water

one for realistic clouds  

and so on and so forth.

Yeah, I knew that. I just got a little excited with all the ps4/720 talk that it was a new engine, not just a small portion.

Playstation 4 can do better than that.
