PhysX in Call of Duty: Ghosts has been beefed up by Nvidia and Infinity Ward as the latest PC patch includes the new next generation fur technology, giving Riley the dog a shiny new coat to dazzle us with.
The fur tech was teased a while back with The Witcher used as an example where earlier versions of wolf fur looked ridiculously N64-era compared to the new simulated fur.
Fur and hair has been a considerable focus for both Nvidia and AMD as they push their new technologies, with AMD's TressFX tech flagshipped in Tomb Raider.
This new fur will be applied to Riley as well as single player campaign wolves and multiplayer dogs.
