NVIDIA GameWorks Integration

[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.

Unfortunately it seems like I have some kind of driver conflict. Had to change my anti-virus and this made the compile/build run at least a bit longer but then again a full memory dump.
Don't think this is related to your VXGI build at all. How could it possibly be. I'll keep trying!
Meanwhile I gathered some compile errors for you. Not sure if they have any value but maybe:

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

Hey, I don't know if I'm right here, but can someone explain me How I can create a Flow project or even add Flow to an excisting projectfile that I created using WindyStrife 4.18 Gameworks ?
I'm just messing around with the Test projectfile at the moment.

Greetings

Did you solve your issue?

Thank you for your efforts Maxime!
I tried compiling your latest version 2 times and -to my sheer horror- I'm getting a total memory dump/ BSD during the build-process (VS 2015).
Maybe something on my end Lookin' into it.

Did you solve your issue?

[Chesire]

Ok it's fixed, i just successfulyl compiled on my side. There were some Nvidia Flow, some Truesky that i missed earlier when i was just grabbing VXGI

[MaximeDupart]

Both seems great, haven't tried ultra dynamic sky, but i'm extremely happy with Truesky.

[MaximeDupart]

that for you it is better - Truesky or ultra dynamic sky???

Yes of course. We do not hurry you.thanks, what do you do

Just committed a fix. You need to update Engine/Source/Developer/Windows/ShaderformatD3D/ShaderFormatD3D.Build.cs

*edit* Allright, i need to do some extra cleaning found other issues. Just wait for an hour and it should be fine

Yes of course. We do not hurry you.thanks, what do you do
