I bought your toolkit and tried to run it on my VR system (Oculus DK2), however, I’m getting a lot of artifacts on VR mode with the screen jumping around. Is there a way to run the example using a VR headset? ---

It is because you are on OSX and that level’s lighting was built on Windows. While all of the features of the Toolkit work perfectly in OSX … the demo scene is something different. Lighting on the demo scene was built on Windows and there is a known difference in how UE4 handles lighting on both systems. In order to view the demo scene accurately you will need to rebuild lighting with a higher exposure value. > **[Lighting Issues When Transferring from PC to Mac](https://forums.unrealengine.com/questions/220989/lighting-issues-when-transferring-from-pc-to-mac.html)** > > Hello there, I’m currently working on a project on both a Mac and PC, transferring the project manually when necessary.

What elements are artifacting and jumping around? The HUD elements do not work in VR. World space 3D widgets are experimental currently, but we are definitely working on it. ---

I still don’t think I understand what this toolkit can actually do, and suspect I bought it for the wrong reason and won’t really be of use to me. I’m looking for a nice simple way to create a home based on a design. From the info I had assumed I would be able to create a model of a house (inside the toolkit) and then add furniture meshes, and change their textures, and the home would be built based on the floor plan. ---

A GTX 770 is definitely capable of running the demo level without a hiccup. Have you looked into the Engine Scalabilty settings I mentioned earlier? Are all settings on “Epic”? If you haven’t modifed anything and/or rebaked the lighting and this is what happens when you opened the level for the 1st time, then there is something else happening. I remember on on old laptop I had that I had to force my system UE4 to run on the Nvidia card in the driver settings because it defaulted to the Intel card. I don’t remember if it was the Intel driver or the Nvidia driver, but I would also check to make sure that your system is using the 770 to process 3D. ---

I’m not sure what in the description or videos gave the impression that the toolkit will generate a building from plan … or generate geometry at all, but it definitely can not do that. Unfortunately there is no simple/easy way to create an architectural visualization. At least that I know of. What the Toolkit **CAN** do for is allow you to easily add a very high level of functionality and interactivity to your visualization. Such as changing your furniture meshes and textures in-game.

Great. Thanks. While doing your exterior project, are new changes/ updates to the tool kit being implemented? Maybe more so how rendering settings are handled, lightmass or dynamic lighting setups, for interior vs exterior? I only ask because it seems that, based on the marketing material, the tool kit, in it’s initial development, was more suited for interior projects.
