Meet AMD TressFX 5.0!
This new version of AMD TressFX has been developed for both Unreal® Engine 4.26 and 4.27, and Unreal Engine 5.4.
In TressFX 5.0, we have improved the Maya® exporter to handle more complicated animation assets, with support for up to 16 binding bones. We have also improved the asset editors and visualization tools. Lastly, we have enhanced light handling for AMD TressFX, including cast/receive shadow implementation support for more rendering features in Unreal Engine (TAA, SkyLight, Marschner Shading Model) which are more compatible with the UE rendering pipeline.
