Hair physics can be a tough nut to crack. In addition to having to render thousands upon thousands of fine strands that are closely grouped together, the rendering also needs to simulate the movement of hair in accordance with player movements and other elements like wind.
This can obviously take a ton of computing resources, and because the end result doesn’t significantly change the visual presentation - most developers choose to ignore this aspect or make do with primitive hair physics that only scratches the surface of what’s possible.
But some developers go beyond and put in the required effort to make hair not only look beautiful but also function in a realistic fashion. In this feature will discuss 10 most impressive hair physics in video games.
