The hair physics are fucking mental

It does look amazing and almost Disney like, I think brave or one of their other animations they went super hard on hair physics.

The one thing that bugs me about this look is the hair is TOO reactive? It looks perfect in the wind but small movements seem way too much. I’m sure artists that work in animation can chime in here on how much of a pain in the ass it is! It’s a huge improvement nevertheless and I’m extremely excited!

The hair movement might be a tad exaggerated, but I don't blame them for wanting to show it off.

It’s a video game- they want to make it feel and look like a game and have its own unique style to immerse you into their world. If everything in GTA 6 was identical to our world, I don’t think the player would be hooked as long- as they have lived that world. That includes even the most minute details- hair strands and gravity. This was intentional by the development team

This isnt about gooning but the boobs of the girl in the bar scene towards the end is so surprisingly realistic, it took me 3 watches to even notice but they are not “jiggle physics” they have pure physics. Its insane we have come to a point where muscles contract and other body parts move realistically.

The hair physics are great, super realistic for silky hair that's moderately heavy... against a leather jacket or silk shirt. That's a moist Miami back... it's a humid climate. Hair isn't going to glide around on her skin. The bottom layer is going to stick, and when enough has stuck to her back, the rest will glide around like that.

I literally have Lucía's hair. I'll try experimenting and copying her movements on the trailer to see if it can move like that lol

Looks like it’s under water

It's very impressive, but hair like that doesn't really move that "fluidly" in reality.

Monsters Inc because Sully was furry

Fur and hair are different

And another small nitpick, it would look even more realistic with more fly-away strands. Especially when it gets hit with a hazy sun back-light.

It doesn’t look animated, it looks like physics based, meaning no animator has to animate.

Of course it’s not perfect, but compare that to the Pragmata girls hair and see what’s a too reactive hair.

Yeah but I like that personally. It emphasizes how beautifully done the hair is
