NVIDIA GameWorks Integration

[Alexey.Panteleev]

Hi everyone,

UE 4.19 branch with VXGI 2.0 is up on GitHub: https://github.com/NvPhysX/UnrealEngine/tree/VXGI2-4.19

I'll try to answer your questions about it here.

[Aeries]

I am SO excited for vxgi 2.0 - to meet visual targets for our game!! Are we looking at 4.19 + vxgi 2.0 release before May, still, or has it been pushed back? :3

[Novarek]

i am waiting for VXGI 2.0 to do this one

Oh? I will wait then, thanks.

[WindyStrife]

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

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?
