Hello Mike. Any news on hairworks and 4.7 ?

GDC 2015 slides for The Tomorrow Children tech have been released:

Hopefully this will give you guys some ideas for VXGI.

I am amazed that they are able to achieve both anisotropic voxels and 16 cones per bounce on the ps4.

i testing same material with reflection and refraction and realized a few things. The only thing is reflective is direct light and difuse color generated by direct light, the other things like a gi, refraction, emisse nothing is reflected. The refraction is very cool, refracted every thing like reflection, emisse, gi and other, but when you changed the material mode to translucent all channels is disable except refraction and opacity. the other channels like a base color, metalic, roughness and others dont work.

Nice video, thanks for sharing. Could you please be more specific about "...some minor issues with the VXGI specularity."?

Thanks,
Mike

Thank you, well: the issues I'm having is that most of the specular settings never seem to quite affect the game world. Whenever I tweak something I don't see any changes. Sometimes I think VXGI isn't even getting information about specularity

emissive not emisse

fdslk i saw your video and i didnt see any vxgi efect i thing you not enable

Finally got it working. Thanks again, Mike.

i confused about refraction, the refraction dont show emissive

You can check very closely at 3:10 from onwards the bounces. Specially in the staircases roof near the end.

Hello Mike. Any news on hairworks and 4.7 ?

Sorry for the delays. I am working on a VXGI update right now, I should be pushing that to Github later today. HairWorks might make it by the end of the month, they are still dealing with rendering issues related to aliasing and transparency. Regarding 4.7, I've started on it, but I am still studying the changes.

Ty Mike for that notice! One question tho'

For updating the VXGI branch, I have to download the whole branch again and then recompile it? Or running the setup.bat to get the files and recompile would be enough?

Does this mean you guys have resolved most of those issues - i.e. point light shadows, particles, multibounce, etc?

This patch will should fix the shadow issues. Still working on the others. Multi-bounce will probably take a while, not sure about particles.

Using git, or just a zip file? If you are working through zip files, you'll have to do the process over again, although really you could just grab the Engine folder from the new zip and drop it on the other one.

If you use git and have a VXGI branch already working, all you should have to do is "git pull origin VXGI"
