Inside Unity’s new flagship demo, Enemies
summary
Enemies is a continuous real-time cinematic rendered in Unity HDRP at 4K using volumetric 4D capture meshes cleaned by R3DS/Wrap3D, with eyes using a caustics-enabled HDRP Eye Shader, hair grooms exported from XGen/Houdini/Barbershop as cached Olympic grooms (up to ~10k strands, adjustable subdivisions and 30/60/120 Hz solver), a Skin Tension Solver that blends wrinkle/normal maps plus a blood map, ray tracing with volume probes, and DLSS that doubles frame rate.
