You're watching a tech demo in action! Our Anvil engine uses Micropolygons to render millions of geometric details in real time. This demo showcases the scale of geometry the system can handle.

What this engine really needs is a layer of AI slop slapped on top of every frame

A few stutters should go a long ways as well. Then we're truly next-gen.

So PC only?

so i assume just mesh shaders basically. good on them I guess. nothing to write home about everyone's in the process of adapting it.

 

[Shin-Ra]

Going by the UE5 games I've seen, they also need an adaptive texturing system to maintain high texel density on surfaces with intricate geometric detail.

IMO Shadows looks pretty damn fantastic even now. Ubi's games are slop in terms of content but their tech is pretty good in general.

Some people in this forum laughed at me for stating that I think that Ubisoft, for all the shit that you can rightfully throw at them, have pretty good in-house tech. The version of Anvil that runs AC Unity is still producing pretty visuals with solid performance. AC Origins still looks and runs great. And what I have seen of AC Shadows, it is a beautiful game and I have not heard any major complaints regarding performance issues or bugs. It's mostly the game design that lets Ubisoft's stuff down, and retarded management decisions.

Mesh shaders are still very niche as of now to be honest but good to see Ubisoft going in.

I watched this earlier when it dropped and it was such a random ass video, like was it by accident

Its cool tech, basically their take on nanite and their games are always environmental first so thats pretty cool

Still a random ass video

Both snowdrop and anvil or anvil next or whatever they call it now are great modern engines...

I dont know if far cry is still running on dunia or the modded anvil engine but their tech really needs an overhaul.

Rubberband coop is stil mental in todays age

Now improve your skin shaders and you're good.

 

[Hadoukens]

If it wasn't about DEI Ubi I would probably have cared.
Good tech is good tech.

 

[Vick]

Looks amazing.

 

[deeptech]

I remember being pleasantly surprised by AC Unity tech demo back when it was next-gen. This is cool but where games Ubi?

 

[RafterXL]

Anvil has been one of the best engines in gaming for years, it's just unfortunate it's tied directly to Ubisoft. I'd love to see some other developers using it.

 

[RoboFu]

Thats the same as nanite huh

 

[Represent.]

Who else uses this engine?

Are they out sourcing?

ubisoft is nothing but Ass creed now
