Hey guys, be careful with using VaOcean as a base for a new project. The original creator adapted his code from NVidia’s OceanCS example, whole functions are directly copy/pasted. He neglected to mention , which violates the EULA that comes with the code (It mentions NVidia must be credited). There may be other licensing implications that I’m not aware of, so you may want to look into that further if you’re going to spend a lot of time improving on that code base.

Additionally, a lot of the code was written with DX10 as a target, which is a leftover limitation from OceanCS. UE4 uses DX11, and there are several improvements in DX11 that will help you write a more efficient FFT. It may even be more desirable to start from scratch…

You can find Microsoft’s adaptation of OceanCS in old blog post: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/nat…mple-in-c-amp/

In OceanCS.zip you’ll find NVidia’s EULA and some of the code that was copy/pasted into VaOcean. If you want to see OceanCS directly, you’ll have to download Nvidia’s GPU Computing SDK 4.0.

Thanks for mentioning . I will study the material (VaOcean) and the NVidia’s EULA to decide the outcome and make it public in thread. There are plenty of works on Tessendorf FFT which we can switch over and that are trully MIT license, and we might replace as seen fit if we can’t reuse VaOcean code. I will share the best implementation with EvoPulseGaming so both will have same implementation.
