NVIDIA GameWorks Integration

[WindyStrife]

I'm seeking for a merged git of HairWorks and VXGI for the UE 4.19, someone has it under his hand ?

i am waiting for VXGI 2.0 to do this one

I'm seeking for a merged git of HairWorks and VXGI for the UE 4.19, someone has it under his hand ?

[croftmaniac]

I'm having a problem with UE4 and Hairworks for sometime now.
Both in FurViewer and AnimBP, the hair move realistically with my character.
When I try it in game though, the hair move slowly as if they have less gravity.
What I mean is that they stay more time in air and they follow slowly my character's animations.
Is there an option somewhere or is this common with UE4 and Nvidia Hairworks?

*For some reason I can't create a new thread , so that's why I post it here*

Hey, I was able to compile what you uploaded, but im unable to access NVIDIA flow. am i missing something? are there some extra steps i need to be following?

[MASSIVE Can]

Any update on VXGI 2.0? How performance improvement should we expect?

[Chesire]

Have you tried removing the Intermediate folder, and start over?

Reinstalled some stuff. All good now. Again, many thanks for your continuous efforts!

[rbesca]

my previous post is moot, i solved the problem by using the version Sevenplex provided, using a fresh VS2015 install to compile. Gonna check things out now, very excited

Hello everyone,

I am trying to compile the latest editor for the first time using VS17 on win10 (16299.371)

I am running into some errors while compiling, this is my output (sorry for the german bits, tried to set VS language to english. 'Bezeichner' = identifier / designator | 'Typspezifizierer' = type specifier)

I hope someone can help me get back on track with this. I am very unexperienced using VS so please go a little slower than usual maybe.

ok. This is realllly strange. In the hairworks viewer its working allright! but when it comes to ue4, when i try to add hairworks .apx file to my character blueprint problem starts to show up.
It looks like hairs up axis getting changed. I tried to change it when i export from maya. Y up and Z up nothing happens. Same. But when i open it in Viewer it looks ok.... is somebody facing with this problem?
___ That little white thing should be beard....

[CGICollector]

This is my solution
File: SubstanceCore.Build.cs
LineNumber 105 to 132



//Toggle on our flag if we are building for PS4
//IncludePS4Files = true;
}
}

//Overwrite PS4 SDK if the files don't exist - Check both Engine and Project directories
//string ConsoleFilePath = "SubstanceCore\\Private\\SubstanceCorePS4Utils.h";
//string BaseEnginePath = Path.Combine("..", "Plugins", "Runtime", "Substance", "Source");
//string BaseProjectPath = Path.Combine("Plugins", "Runtime", "Substance", "Source");
//string ConsoleEngineFilePath = Path.Combine(BaseEnginePath, ConsoleFilePath);
//string ProjectParentDir = System.IO.Directory.GetParent(Target.ProjectFile.ToString().ToString());
//string ConsoleProjectFilePath = Path.Combine(ProjectParentDir, BaseProjectPath, ConsoleFilePath);

//Check both possible locations of where the console files could be
//bool ConsoleFilesFoundInEnginePluginDir = File.Exists(ConsoleEngineFilePath) && IncludePS4Files;
//bool ConsoleFilesFoundInProjectPluginDir = File.Exists(ConsoleProjectFilePath) && IncludePS4Files;

//Craft the project file location to test as well
//IncludePS4Files = (ConsoleFilesFoundInEnginePluginDir || ConsoleFilesFoundInProjectPluginDir) && IncludePS4Files;

//PublicDefinitions.Add("SUBSTANCE_HAS_PS4_SDK=" + (IncludePS4Files ? "1" : "0"));

//if (IncludePS4Files)
// UnrealBuildTool.Log.WriteLine(LogEventType.Log, "Substance Editor Plugin: PS4 Cooking Enabled");
}
}

Does anyone add the "Substance plugin" to Maxime.Dupart 's 4.19 branch?

do you know what's wrong with it?thanks

[Bruce_Oases]

@WindyStrife I clone your branch in the github.And maybe there are some problems.Do you meet it? like it will crash when run waveworks_gdc_map after packaging

[Bruce_Oases]

Update: I was able to get around this by adding an additional condition to the if statement that runs the CreateGerstnerWaveUniformBuffer function:

 if (WaveWorks != nullptr && WaveWorksResource != nullptr && WaveWorks->bUseShoreLine)
{
WaveWorksResource->WaveWorksGerstnerUniformBuffer = CreateGerstnerWaveUniformBuffer();
}

line 259 in C:\..\UnrealEngine\Engine\Source\Runtime\Engine\Private\WaveWorksRender.cpp

I haven't looked beyond this but before the code is looking for a material to calculate the height and width from for the shoreline interaction.. but if you don't have a texture.. then is crashes out as per the log

[2017.05.11-12.25.14:324][468]LogWindows:Error: UE4Editor-Engine.dll!FWaveWorksSceneProxy::CreateGerstnerWaveUniformBuffer() [d:\git\unrealengine\engine\source\runtime\engine\private\waveworksrender.cpp:177]

At least with this additional condition you can then start using WaveWorks!

I'll email the devs to see if they have any opinions.. but now perhaps someone here can comment further.

Cheers!

I tried your way，but it does not work. And for me ,it works well in the editor, however,it crashed when run it after packaging.
The same erro log as this.What can I do now?thanks

Is there anyone who managed to merge Blast and VXGI with 4.19? I know Maxime got VXGI 4.19, would love to see blast with it. Thanx for all hard work.
