NVIDIA GameWorks Integration

[VinaCaptcha]

I updated all three 4.19 GameWorks merges I've done to include latest fixes from Nvidia (for TXAA3 and VXGI2) and official UE 4.19.2:

https://github.com/0lento/UnrealEngi...4.19-Flow-VXGI (Flow + VXGI 2)
https://github.com/0lento/UnrealEngi...4.19-GameWorks (Blast + Flow + HairWorks 1.4 + HBAO+ 4 + TXAA 3 + VXGI 2)
https://github.com/0lento/UnrealEngi...9-GameWorks-VL (Blast + Flow + HairWorks 1.4 + HBAO+ 4 + TXAA 3 + Volumetric Lighting + VXGI 2)

Why do you don't include Flex into this version? I am waiting it so much

Hey guys. I tried downloading this: https://github.com/0lento/UnrealEngi...4.19-GameWorks
I build it and the engine started, but there is nothing of these features when i start.

Check the sample projects at project root. I haven't organized them this time around so they are kinda scattered around, they are on same folders where individual nvidia branches place them.

It's possible add waveworks to your branch ?

I'm avoiding waveworks for two reasons: the version we get is CUDA only, so it only runs on Nvidia GPUs. Other is that last time I checked, some shader overrode some surface normal math that Flex did differently so this would probably make that shader to have some unwanted effect on Flex if both were enabled on the same build.

FYI this is my first time building with Visual Studio.
Maybe i am missing something?
Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask about this.

Thanks for reply guys!

I replied to this question before:



I wish Nvidia would give some estimate for this. If new Flex is not coming for 4.19, I might as well throw the old version in myself.

I'm sorry, I missed this message! And thanks for the answer!

Hairworks doesn't show up properly in planar reflections atm. It would be nice of someone could look into that.

[Derjyn]

Sweeeet! Great news, thanks for that update Alexey!

[Alexey.Panteleev]

Yes nvidia!!!!! is Flex 1.2 coming to 4.19? please let us know!!!

I've asked internally, and the answer is: "Yes, we have the integration done. Just doing some testing before we push."

Helo, why do you no longer support Flex in your assemblies? I used your build in version 4.18.3, everything worked stably. I do not know for what reason, but other people's builds of versions 4.19 heavily load the system.

I replied to this question before:

I'm still waiting official Flex integration to drop myself. It's not difficult to merge the old version, it's just bit pointless if Nvidia is releasing improved Flex 1.2 soon for UE4 (which I hope they do as Flex 1.2 SDK itself has been out for two month or so). No official word if they are doing this however.

If it's a regular UE4 plugin which you can install through Epic launcher, you will see the plugin in UE4 binary installation folder under plugins/marketplace. Like mentioned for the substance-plugin, you can just add these into your own project by copying the files from that Marketplace folder into your projects Plugins-folder, make sure you have at least some c++ class (if you don't, add some c++ dummy file), then regenerate the solution file so you'll get the new plugins included in the build, then just open the solution file and build the project, it will build projects plugins at the same time.

That is, as long as the plugin comes with integration source code (haven't seen a plugin that doesn't have that but then again, I've never used Datasmith).

Hi, I've tried to build a plug-in in your way, and many other plug-ins can be built in this way, such as substance-plugin, and they can all be rebuilt. But Datasmith is made by EPIC, and in the 4.18 of the engine I can find its folders under the plug-in path, but when I try to rebuild them, I'm prompted to build an error, maybe try to handle it manually in the source code, and then I try to build them in the 4.19 edition of the branch, but the 4.19 version of Datasm The ith plug-in does not appear in the plug-in directory of the engine, but I make sure that it has been installed. It seems to be intentionally hidden or encrypted by Epic authorities. So it can't be rebuilt in the engine branch? The Datasmith tool is really important, but I can't seem to find the way to use it in the branch.
