A few days ago, we shared a video showing real-time path tracing effects in the Luminous Engine. Luminous Productions has collaborated with NVIDIA in order to create that path tracing tech demo at CEDEC 2019. However, the team has also presented some truly amazing next-gen characters.
Below you can find some of the characters that Luminous Productions showcased during the CEDEC 2019 event. As we can see, these character models look absolutely incredible. The level of detail is truly amazing, and will give you an idea of what we can expect from next-gen games.
Now we don’t know whether the in-game characters will look this good when Xbox Scarlett and PS5 release. Still, and given how great some characters already look in current-gen titles, we can assume that some developers will be able to match the quality of these models.
It will also be interesting to see what games will take advantage of the Luminous Engine. Luminous Production has done a lot of work in order to implement ray/path tracing effects, however, most developers had a lot of trouble creating games in this engine. After all, Kingdom Hearts 3 ditched the Luminous Engine in favour of Unreal Engine 4.
But anyway, enjoy the following GIFs and take a look at what next-gen may bring to the table!

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

Is it just me, or does that bish have a wandering eye?

omg!!!!!!
please be true!
edit – and she plays as the “sorceress” – Villain confirmed.
Please no.
Not with “story telling” in its current sorry state.
Besides, there’s rights issues with the author of the novel PE was based on.
Those evil whiny groups won’t like this because the character is too pretty and unrealistic for their standard. They will demand same gif but must contain blue hair and extra weight…
very curious about the direction of this.
..If this has anything to do with Melissa from Parasite Eve that would be dope!!!!
because check it out.
she has the same hair, dress and eye color in the bottom videos as Melissa.

and the bottom video confirms genetic transformations.
i’m 80% sure these reels are for parasite eve.
We already saw these kinds of showcases last gen, most if not all never happened. not even one company showcased it’s A.I or any sign of improvement in that part, just make things shiny and sell it to idiots.
Next stop: Raytraced Disney Moana p*rn!
Next-gen characters straight from last-gen
yeah dedicated graphics cards will have to be 3000% faster on RTX performance in order to achieve this quality in 1080p 60fps , we’ll get this in 4 years i reckon , if you take a look at the samaritan demo it took us 4 years to get there , i think we’ll get there maybe sooner.
Again? I thought the Luminous Engine was a b*tch to program for and left to the side after FF15?
