NVIDIA GameWorks Integration

[Maxwell_77]

@iuhiuh Sorry, at the moment I am unsure what to do. As I understood I select "Development Editor Win64" from the dropdown menu. After that I click on UE4 in the Solution Explorer and select "Build Solution", right? All the same I should do with "DebugGame Win64"...The last thing which has to be done is then the file renaming...

[iuhiuh]

yep exactly what you said choose developement editor win64 and then build ue4 and then next step the same with debugGame win64 or if that debuggame fails, try to use DebugGame editor
and than last step : Rename the "UE4Game-Win64-DebugGame.target.xml" in Engine/Build/Receipts to "UE4Game-Win64-Development.target.xml"

[Maxwell_77]

@iuhiuh Thank you very much! :-)

[Maxwell_77]

@iuhiuh One last question... ;-) When I start from scratch the first thing I have to do is to compile the Engine as described in the tutorials which were published here, right? After that I build the "Development Editor win64" and the "debug editor win64"?
At the moment I get compiling errors in Visual Studio. For this reason it is the best to start from scratch again.

[schauk]

is there a way to make hairworks work with morph targets?
so that for example a beard moves correct when the mouth is opend by morph targets.
it seems to work just for bones =(

I am frustrated at the moment. I did everything to create the UEGame.exe for packaging my projects. But I get always compile errors in Visual Studio. I dont know where the mistake is. First, I selected "Development Editor Win64" in the dropdown menu in Visual Studio. I selected the UE4 icon in the Solution Explorer, right click "build". When everything is finished I selected "debugGame win64" in the pulldown menu. Then right click on the UE4 symbol (Solution Explorer) and start building. So far, so good. But then this happens:



What is going on there? What am I doing wrong?!

I would like to download all integrated NVIDIA Gameworks functions in one package. Recently I tried VXGI branch and it works fine, but for Turbulence, Waveworks, Hairworks etc. I have to download every branch separately ... I hope that someone will upload full UE4 with all Gameworks options or maybe another solution exists.
Also I have question for NVIDIA : when will be release NVIDIA FLEX for Fermi-based video cards ? I have good old GTX570 and I have CUDA 2.0, so FLEX doesn't work for me, but I heard about coming FLEX for all DirectX 11 graphics cards.

Ah finally an error I recognize, they are the same errors I was getting and then fixed with a commit, I'll submit my commit tomorrow to my branch and you can apply those changes to your code.

Contains everything but Turbulence. I recently recieved some DLL's from Alexey that will hopefully be compatible with the version of PhysX used in 4.9. So hopefully Turbulence will come soon.

Any One Give Me The Tutorial Link Of Flex And WaveWorks....

[Maxwell_77]

@GalaxyMan: Thank you for your help. :-) I appreciate this very much.

[GalaxyMan2015]

Good news for people who were waiting for Turbulence integration, it has arrived. Thanks to Alexey for getting a version of the APEX DLLs that work with 4.9. Please try it out and let me know if there are any issues, as I haven't had a chance to thoroughly test it, the NVIDIA sample project works fine with it.

Also contains some packaging fixes. This will allow you to package for Development 64-bit. I am working on some fixes to be able to package for Shipping 64-bit. I dont think there will be any support for 32-bit any time soon.

@Maxwell_77: This commit: https://github.com/GalaxyMan2015/Unr...795442691922dc is the VXGI packaging fix, you should be able to take that commit and force apply it to the NVIDIA branch.

@GalaxyMan2015: Hey buddy...Can you please put up your Nvidia Github link as your signature? It would help a lot of future users trying to find it.

Somehow that never even occurred to me. And its done.

Also updated my branch, packaging for Shipping 64-bit now works and integrated HairWorks 1.1.1

[Maxwell_77]

@GalaxyMan: Can I compile the "UE4Game.exe" with the new branch without the problems I described?
