More importantly, AnvilNext starting with Assassin's Creed Unity is capable of generating structures in a flexible and automatic manner while following specific design rules and templates, which reduces the amount of time and manual effort required for artists and designers to create an intricate urban environment. This means enemy settlements on both land and sea may appear/disappear relating to the events in the game, and water effects could be adjusted accordingly. Finally, AnvilNext adds technology from Far Cry 4 to support a more dynamic sandbox environment and new water technology, where the game world could change over time depending on player actions and progression. Secondly, the renderer was rewritten for higher efficiency and support for additional post-processing techniques, enabling up to 3,000 non-playable characters to be rendered in real time (compared to the few 100s in the previous Anvil engine). Firstly, AnvilNext adds support for a new weather system, which allows for specific weather settings as well as an automatically cycling mode as seen in Assassin's Creed IV. In 2012 an updated version was released called AnvilNext, which was developed for Assassin's Creed III and beyond, featuring a number of enhancements. Assassin's Creed: Lineage short films made by Hybride Technologies (a post-production VFX studio acquired by Ubisoft) and Ubisoft Digital Arts used assets from Anvil to recreate the environment in which the live actors are filmed.

Features added include a full night and day cycle, enhanced draw distance, the same vegetation technology used in Far Cry 2, improved lighting, reflection and special effects, new cloth system, and a new AI and NPC navigation system. Anvil has been improved for Assassin's Creed II.


The engine uses Autodesk's HumanIK middleware to correctly position the character's hands and feet in climbing and pushing animations at run-time. You can read more about the ChicagoDAC here.Claude Langlais, the technical director of Ubisoft Montreal, says that modeling is done in 3ds Max for environments and ZBrush for characters. Having the ChicagoDAC equipped with our new development of patterned diamond anvils enables seamless transport measurements at the extreme conditions of high-magnetic-fields, high-pressures and low-temperatures. The Diacell® ChicagoDAC is made of non-magnetic silicon aluminium bronze and provides in situ pressure tuning and measurement by means of a helium-filled bellows actuator and fiber-coupled ruby fluorescence spectroscopy, respectively.Īn insert is available to accommodate the gas coupling to the bellows and the necessary optics for ruby fluorescence manometry. Rosenbaum - then at the University of Chicago now at Caltech - the ChicagoDAC is optimized for use in the Quantum Design PPMS platform, but it can be equally adapted to fit inside the bores of high-field superconducting magnets in helium-4 cryostats (with or without liquid helium), helium-3 cryostats, and dilution refrigerators. Developed in full collaboration with the group of Prof. The Diacell® ChicagoDAC is a completely new compact bellows-driven diamond anvil cell for high-pressure, low-temperature transport measurements. The next generation of diamond anvil cells is here: Diacell® ChicagoDAC
