You may want to check this thread. The method allows to glue parts of mesh to animated actors with collision. No falloff feature as far as I know, so it's hard to use in some cases.

Hey guys,
is there any Hairworks Version that works with UE 4.17 yet? Or does anyone know if and when it will be usable ?

[ZAxis]

Any word on a 4.18 VXGI branch?

First post here, and new to UE4, so bear with my noobyness. Sorry if this has been discussed here before.

I'm trying to import an .apx Hairworks file saved out of the Hairworks viewer into the latest version of UE, but I don't even see the .apx file option on the import list. Won't read the .apx file, and drag and drop doesn't work either.

I'm using the regular version of UE 4.18.1 downloaded through the launcher, do I need to build UE from the source code to use GameWorks effects?

Many thanks.

I'm not sure but I did not find any information about hairworks usable in this version.
The only one I got to work is currently in UE 4.16 and therefore I needed to rebuild the engine via Visual studio.
You need to have a connection between your Epic and your Github account and then you can download the files.

But I would really like to know when it will be usable in a newer UE version

Thanks for the answer This looks pretty interesting but since it still uses static mesh morphs will not work and also making everything a soft body sounds pretty performance expansive :/

hi all guys.
(A) i usual used VXGI with 4.17 for some works.
(B) i delated the dir about 4.17 and downloaded+installed the VXGI 4.18

now i can't use this VXGI anymore:
for exemple with 4.18 VXGI(B) if i create a scene the GI result like "bloked". i cant chage sky light intesity so i cant work (sun light works good)

if i delate the VXGI 4.18(B) dir and i download and re-istall the VXGI(C) 4.17 i get the SAME problem

if i use VXGI 4.18(B) and i convert a progect made with VXGI 4.17(A) the VXGI works good

i cant understand what happend

someone can help me please?

Quick question, I was wondering if it was possible to expose HairWorks property into the sequencer with BP magic in order to keyframe some of the Hairworks value for cinematics purpose?
I've heard it was possible only by a risky attempt of editing the source code macros of FHairWorksInstance to allow the HairWorksAssets and HairworksMaterials to be modified in the event graph and construction script, did somoene already experimented with this subject ?

Maxime said this about it:

In this 4.18 version there's only Blast and Flow.
