NVIDIA has worked closely with NBA 2K27 developer Visual Concepts and publisher 2K to bring 3D-Guided Neural Rendering to the game. The technology is designed to make the players look even more lifelike, with more natural lighting and shading across their faces and hair.
For example, DLSS 5 can simulate light passing naturally through a player’s ears, illuminate their skin more realistically, and create natural reflections in their hair. At the same time, the technology preserves the original facial geometry created from scans of real-world athletes.
