The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt NVIDIA GameWorks Effects
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is set in an immense world, and outside of the safe cities and relatively safe towns, protagonist Geralt of Rivia will be confronted by a menagerie of vicious beasties, all eager to avoid the pointy end of his monster-slaying silver sword.
With a suitably powerful GPU, and NVIDIA’s GameWorks effects enabled, many of these beasts will be enhanced with NVIDIA HairWorks, adding hundreds of thousands of dynamic DirectX 11 tessellated hair strands, creating the appearance of real hair and fur.
In addition to enhancing the many beasts of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’s open world, HairWorks also increases the fidelity and realism of Geralt’s flowing hair, as well as the mane of his trusty steed, who makes going from A to B a breeze.
When you’re roaming the lands of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, on horseback or on foot, NVIDIA GameWorks’ HBAO+ will increase the quality of Ambient Occlusion (AO) shadows on every character, object, surface, and piece of foliage, greatly enhancing image quality game-wide. Compared to other AO techniques, HBAO+ is more accurate and more realistic, and is now the AO solution of choice for leading developers.
In addition to HairWorks and HBAO+, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’s world is enhanced with platform agnostic NVIDIA PhysX effects that enable clothes, cloth, ship sails, and horse tails to move as you would expect, and objects to be destroyed realistically. Get an in-motion glimpse of them and the effects in our behind the scenes video.

This is in addition to integrating the latest and greatest versions of our PhysX Destruction, PhysX Clothing and PhysX Turbulence technologies, which work in tandem to create immersive effects that react realistically to external forces. In previous Batman: Arkham games, these technologies created immersive fog and ice effects, realistic destructible scenery, and game-enhancing cloth effects that added to the atmosphere and spectacle. Expect to see similar effects in Arkham Knight, along with new features and effects that we’ll be talking about in depth as we approach Arkham Knight’s June 23rd release.
