NVIDIA GameWorks Integration

[Rathren]

Hi,

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I did not know where else to ask.
I made a small demo using the fleX unreal engine version. I wanted to show what I made to a friend but when I tried packaging the game I got the error:

I haven't tried it, so I wouldn't be surprised if there's some kind of bug. I'm not sure. Sorry, wish I could be of more help here.

Thanks for listening

Looks like something wrong with your paths. No files found to deploy for I:\UE4\flexDevelopment\ . Are you building a project from there or your desktop?

hi im trying to run the flex demo under linux and wasnt able to understand whats going on here completely, i wish i could provide more info, could you mike please help me to find a way to fix this?
the thing is i cant debug it properly as i dont have the source for flex.cu and i dont know exactly how it works under the hood, like where does that info come from? it seems it has hardcoded dependencies on libcudart-5.5 and I'am using version 7.0 already, any help is greatly appreciated!

Will all of these gameworks features be for nvidia cards only for a long time? I'm deciding on getting either a titan X or 390X,
I think the 390x will be same performance as titanx but like half the cost?
Unless all these gameworks features wont work on amd cards until like 6 months or 1 year then I will just go with nvidia

Hi,

I'm afraid we haven't tested the FleX-UE4 integration broadly under Linux yet. I know that FleX itself will run on Linux, but as you noted it appears we are using and older version of CUDA. Is there no way to try it with CUDA-5.5?

The schedule for DX11 support (instead of CUDA) varies with the feature, and is determined by whether we are able to achieve the desired results with DX11. Already VXGI, HBAO+ support DX11, but FleX and WaveWorks are CUDA. I'm afraid I don't have exact dates for availability of DX11 on those features yet.

Hi,

Thanks for listening

I build with scripts and one of them builds shipping targets, and they do work, though FleX needs a patch: https://github.com/NvPhysX/UnrealEngine/issues/14

Apply that and build UE4Game Shipping Win64.

[Nudlegaru]

Just to be sure: are the branches updated to 4.7.2 or still with 4.6.1?

[Nudlegaru]

UE4 has really a problem with reflections: https://vimeo.com/122314583

SSR aren't enough to render all reflections caused by indirect light sources and not just screen-space ones. I really hope VXGI adds reflections caused by litgh bounces so we can get real reflections like in real life.

I also downloaded the branch version of UE4 with nVIDIA's VXGI.
It looks awesome.

VXGI OFF


VXGI ON

This is why you don't rely solely on SSR, you use SSR together with reflection captures. Most ArchViz projects I've seen so far use static lighting and had decent reflections, at least from what I can tell.
VXGI will have to offer a replacement for the reflection captures as they only work with Lightmaps, but don't expect anything great as realtime reflections outside screen-space would kill most machines (as far as my knowledge goes).
I think someone mentioned that we would need at least two bounces to get proper reflections or something like that. But if anyone wants to correct I'm eager to learn more!

Still 4.6.1, sorry for the delay.

Yes it was me talking to Mike who confirmed that.

Still 4.6.1, sorry for the delay.

No problem. Looking forward to see all branches merged with 4.7.3 (just released now, and there will be 4.7.4 fix soon).
