The Adrianne Curry demo pushed the limits of realism in skin shading.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">&#8220;A New Dawn demo&#8221; is a synthesis of all of these demos showcasing\u00a0a decade of techniques and advancement made in the realm of real-time 3D graphics. It may not look ten times as good as the original, but there are no tradeoffs, such as eliminating the environment and\u00a0using the GPU to\u00a0render a single character. This\u00a0new Dawn lives in a rich and complex world\u00a0in which over four million triangles are used to showcase Dawn&#8217;s environment.<\/p>\n<p>Based on fan feedback, \u201cA New Dawn\u201d has been tweaked to run on both single Kepler GPUs and SLI configurations.\u00a0 It is recommended to run on at least a GTX 670<\/p>\n<p>You can grab the demo directly from here:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.geforce.com\/games-applications\/pc-applications\/a-new-dawn\" onclick=\"_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'outbound-article', 'http:\/\/www.geforce.com\/games-applications\/pc-applications\/a-new-dawn', 'http:\/\/www.geforce.com\/games-applications\/pc-applications\/a-new-dawn']);\" >http:\/\/www.geforce.com\/games-applications\/pc-applications\/a-new-dawn<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Nvidia has\u00a0posted a behind the scenes look at A New Dawn here as well:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.geforce.com\/whats-new\/articles\/a-new-dawn-directx-11-demo-available-for-download\" onclick=\"_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'outbound-article', 'http:\/\/www.geforce.com\/whats-new\/articles\/a-new-dawn-directx-11-demo-available-for-download', 'http:\/\/www.geforce.com\/whats-new\/articles\/a-new-dawn-directx-11-demo-available-for-download']);\" >http:\/\/www.geforce.com\/whats-new\/articles\/a-new-dawn-directx-11-demo-available-for-download<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Please join us in our <a href=\"http:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/abt\/index.php\" target=\"_blank\">Forums<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Become a Fan on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/AlienBabelTech\/123268467142\" onclick=\"_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'outbound-article', 'http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/AlienBabelTech\/123268467142', 'Facebook']);\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Follow us on <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/alienbabeltech\" onclick=\"_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'outbound-article', 'http:\/\/twitter.com\/alienbabeltech', 'Twitter']);\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For the latest updates from ABT, please <a href=\"http:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/?feed=rss2\" target=\"_blank\">join our RSS News Feed<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Join our Distributed Computing teams<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Folding@Home &#8211; Team AlienBabelTech &#8211; 164304<\/li>\n<li>SETI@Home &#8211; Team AlienBabelTech &#8211; 138705<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.worldcommunitygrid.org\/reg\/viewRegister.do?teamID=3P39R3SRV1\" onclick=\"_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'outbound-article', 'http:\/\/www.worldcommunitygrid.org\/reg\/viewRegister.do?teamID=3P39R3SRV1', 'World Community Grid &#8211; Team AlienBabelTech']);\" target=\"_blank\">World Community Grid &#8211; Team AlienBabelTech<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the ten year\u00a0anniversary of the original Dawn tech demo, Nvidia&#8217;s &#8220;A New Dawn&#8221; showcases the latest graphics advancements in hair, skin, and environment rendering.\u00a0 The original Dawn demo was the first to show&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2533,5],"tags":[5417,5416,5121,121,5418],"class_list":["post-30974","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-abt-news","category-gaming","tag-a-new-dawn","tag-dawn","tag-kepler","tag-nvidia","tag-tech-demo"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30974","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30974"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30974\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30974"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30974"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30974"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
