Uncharted 4 Features Chest Hair That Blows in the Wind!

It has been announced that Nathan Drakes chest hair will be affected by the elements in the upcoming game title Uncharted 4! The news was recently announced by Naughty Dog Dynamics Artist Neilan Naicker during a panel at the Gnomon School of Visual Effects, Games and Animation. You can watch the entire panel discussion on Gnomon’s archived livestream.

“I don’t know if you guys have seen pictures of this, but Drake has animating chest hair that blows in the wind.” was said by Mr. Naicker at 49:13 mark. It appears that the same technology using for the grass and vegetation is used on Drakes chest hair! Just wait till NVIDIA Gameworks or AMD TressFX Hair 3.0 gets involved to make this hair rendering even better!

“The chest hair is working exactly like the grass. It’s all in synergy.” – Andrew Maximov

I’m not certain, but Naughty Dog Character Concept Artist Ashley Swidoswski might have had something to do with all this as she happily pointed out the chest hair at a tech demo in December 2014!
