With just under a year to launch the new consoles of Sony and Microsoft, no doubt we often wonder what quality of graphic detail we can see in console with the launch of PS5 and Xbox Series X. We must remember that this time the console will arrive with updated hardware to the market and, although they are outdated over time, they will supposedly endure the generation with next-gen graphics better.
In this sense, what can we expect? The Heretic is the most recent short or technical demo created with the engine Unity 2019.3 -the most advanced version-, which takes the benefits of this development engine to its limit. It is true that Unity is not the most advanced or most used tool in the current market, but there is no doubt that at the graphic level and using all its power, the generated graphics are spectacular for the next-gen.
"Creating photorealistic digital human beings is a technically complex challenge", they comment from the website of the engine," The Heretic is our first attempt to achieve this. "To perform the demo, the 3D and 4D scanning was combined, obtaining high quality textures and realistic and credible movements. The data scanned in 4D, that record the realism of the actor's performance, are complemented by the details of the micro surface, wrinkles, pores, etc., obtained from 3D scanning.

Those responsible for Unity already work in a pack with the technology and shaders used for the digital character in the demonstration so that developers can use them in their own projects.
