Square Enix Unveils Witch Chapter 0 [cry] DirectX 12 Tech Demo - News
by Craig S , posted on 30 April 2015 / 5,124 ViewsSquare Enix today unveiled its 'Witch Chapter 0 [cry]' DirectX 12 real-time tech demo.
The results of the research that led to the tech demo, which you can view in action below, will be utilised by Square Enix's Luminous Studio engine for future projects.
"Witch Chapter 0 [cry], has achieved some of the world’s highest-level quality of real-time CG. It portrays the human emotion of crying-- one of the most difficult representations for existing real-time CG technology. The emotion is displayed in a level of quality which has never been seen before with a real-time CG animated character teemed with life.
Witch Chapter 0 [cry] was created mainly by the developers of Agni's Philosophy – Final Fantasy Realtime Tech Demo, a tech demo for Luminous Studio revealed in June 2012. Square Enix research enabled the real-time CG to feature even more refined graphics and improved processing capabilities in Witch Chapter 0 [cry]."

It's amazing. Square has shown this girl in a tech demo twice in a row. Upcoming game confirmed? Ah man can dream haha
Agnes' Philosophy might just be a real game! Hopefully FFXVI. I can only dream. :)
SE, we all know you're good at making CGI. Now you're just showing off.
Difference is what they showed wasn't from a CGI movie or such. It was in-game or real time.
@Kowan I think that was the joke :p
I almost want to wonder what this could mean for a certain platform.
It's sad that it's got the stage now where when you see a demonstration of a new engine, or a new game's graphics, you just intinctively know that the actual game will be visually downgraded. It's just how these things work now days.
