Hey @max_newgameplus, we don’t announce specific release dates but you can use the previews, and the history of our preview release schedules to get a rough idea. We’re always working to release as soon as we can!
I know you usually drop the documentation at final release, but it would be very helpful to have documentation during early access - even if it’s not yet complete, particularly for new features which have no docs at all yet.
UE 4.27 is focusing in Virtual Production, XR & VR. Since UE5 is significanly different, they are just making better UE4 since the entretainment industry doesn’t have the patience for a new engine like UE5.
Check their roadmap, is very consistent how the development is being focused in Virtual Production than Gaming instead.
will we be getting proper alembic streaming same as MAYA instead of streaming the whole cache into memory ? especially alembic cache that is 15gb or more.
Just want to say thanks to Ryan Mayeda and everyone else involved in the updates coming to live link face. The calibration is something I have been hoping to get a for a long time and I hope more features will come for it in the future ^^
Alembic streaming should already be possible in 4.26, since it’s mentioned in the release notes. But there is no documentation. Maybe someone from Epic can shed some light on this issue.
Sorry to post here, but please help me out cant seem to get my question approve on the answerhub, I want to shift my project from 4.26 to 4.27 to check moving hair ABC (the new feature of ABC with xgen)
But after installing my 4.27 crashes at 86%. 4.26 is running alright and even 4.25 is running fine.
