Hi all.

What happened to the github page?

Is everybody getting the 404 ?

Log in and click on the link again. After that it should work

[Holographix]

logged in on github and I still cannot access... 404 on every browser.

couple of questions:

I want to integrate VXGI on my build (my first time in the forum and trying to do something like this)

I'm still not sure it will work on a Titan GK110 Kepler, from what i understood its optimized for Maxwell gpus but it should work on Kepler titans as well.
I am hopping that VXGI will help me to not having to perfectly uv unwrap every asset for some archviz projects and still have some good results (like in pre baked light mode)

is this the correct link?
https://github.com/NvPhysX/UnrealEngine/tree/VXGI

Thanks in advanced!!!

It will work in your GK110 Titan =]
As far as I know the only restriction for VXGI is your GPU must be DX11 or higher (I use it on a Pitcairn AMD card).

Is your Github account linked to your UE4 account?
That is the the right link.

EDIT: Maybe you want to go for the VXGI-Dev version, there's some discussion on the differences on the last page.

Hey Xeritas! many thanks for the clarifications, so good news for me i guess

As for my account I'm sure its not connected/linked because i don't know how to do this (in case there is some special operation to be done) but i have used the same email for registration on both platforms (only in different time frames) so i guess i am missing something out?


ill check the dev version as you advised

Many thanks again.

Edit: I have mannaged to connect the 2 accounts and now i can access

You need to use the NVIDIA build of UE4 to use HairWorks.

I don t understand what i must do, can you explain me ? Thanks

NVIDIA are maintaining their own version of the engine for GameWorks integrations. So you need to download and compile their version of the engine. So for HairWorks, you will need to download the source from here: https://github.com/NvPhysX/UnrealEngine/tree/HairWorks and then compile, I believe the version of the engine is 4.7.6

Does Hairworks required coding in UE4? I don't know any C++ at all... will I be able to use it with blueprint alone?

No you don't need to know any C++ to work with HairWorks, its pretty much completely BP driven. You can have a look at my example map in my repo: https://github.com/GalaxyMan2015/Unr...8_NVIDIA_Techs for an example of setting up hair and dynamically animating the parameters of the hair.

I'm getting tons of errors with the VXGI-dev branch. I followed the usual steps. The error starts with:

DeferredShadingRenderer.cpp... 'EndVxgiFinalPostProcessSettings' : is not a member of 'FDeferredShadingSceneRenderer'

and checking DeferredShadingRenderer.h we can see that it's not there so maybe there is something to fix. (I tried adding it myself but I got tons of other errors)

Not your fault - the latest commit to vxgi-dev has wrong versions of some file(s). Mike is going to fix that. Until then, you can sync to the previous commit in that branch: af928492c170d1e35d98349b971de7ada5e01caf.

Any word on what Gameworks tech is expected to work in DX12 currently? Will they function when 4.9 is released, or does it need an update first?
