NVIDIA Released The Human Head Demo
I wanted to let you know that NVIDIA’s latest demo, “Human Head” is now available to the public. This demo is a startling leap forward in realism for real-time characters, starring actor Doug Jones, who will portray the Silver Surfer in the upcoming film Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. If you have a GeForce 8800 Ultra you really need to download this demo. It weighs in at 106.8MB and is really awesome. I just got done playing around on the demo on my system and it’s impressive. Be sure to check out the wire frame mode if you run it.
NVIDIA’s GeForce 8800 Ultra demo “Human Head” uses a new sum-of-Guassians formulation of subsurface scattering within a multi-layered skin model coupled to deliver a startling leap forward in realism for real-time characters. “Human Head” computes 17 off-screen textures every frame totaling over 40 Million pixels, each shaded with lengthy pixel shaders That amounts to 1.2 billion pixels every second! Ultra high resolution 4096 x 4096 color and normal textures provide photo-realistic detail even at extremely close ranges.
