NVIDIA GameWorks Integration

[GalaxyMan2015]

Hello friends,

Very sorry for the long delay and my absence from the forum lately, things have been busy with travel, etc. I'm happy to announce that the first-pass integration of HairWorks is up on Github now, https://github.com/NvPhysX/UnrealEngine/tree/HairWorks. There are plenty of issues yet to be resolved, we're not happy with the shadows and aliasing, and there are other rendering artifacts here and there. Also, this first pass is implemented using Blueprints for managing and tuning the hair assets, and we expect this will change in the near future, so please don't expect any assets you create with this first-pass integration to be future-proof. Be sure to plug in an Xbox controller when running the HairWorks map, the controls are blueprinted to the controller buttons right now; we'll create a keyboard map in a future pass.

Thanks,
Mike

Now this is what I like to wake up to, thanks for HairWorks repo, I will get right on to having a play with it. See if theres any way I can help out with some of the rendering issues

alright. all i did was create a new camera and locked my editor on it. Then hairs flew away like this. I didn;t touch anything except camera.

[Gandosh]

when i see this way there is no roblem.

Really really liking hairworks so far. Very impressed especially considering its still in its early stage of development.

This was my most anticipated feature

Is there some way I can get an email or notification when HairWorks is in the public (non-github) UE4?
My project is on hold until I can give my humans hair

Epic tells me that this feature won't become mainstream for UE4 anytime soon.

Weird. I'll pass that along.

Yeah I get same camera weirdness. It has some connection to the 'aspect ratio' of the camera. If there's letterboxing of any kind the hair is transposed in one direction or the other.

Good to know, we'll look into it. Thanks!

By the way when i render out using matinee. It works just fine. No flyaways.

I guess they mean their own proprietory hair tech rather than HairWorks or TressFX. I'm curious to see what Epic will come up with, both for rendering as well as simulation.

Hi Mike ...

I merged the VXGI , HBAO , FLEX & the WAVEWORKS together successfully ...

but when tried to merged the HAIRWORKS to this got this errors!! why ?

[ATTACH=CONFIG]40130[/ATTACH]

Err. I don't know. I'll have to try it. Which order did you do the merge? HairWorks at the end?

Thank you

Which GPU and which driver are you using? Sounds like maybe a driver update would fix it.
