Any chance of us getting the VR editor back? It was such an incredible tool and felt natural for world building.

Still waiting on high performance VR AO. AKA: DFAO.
We have been wanting and waiting for VR DFAO for years. Instead we first got Lumen running in vr, which is way too performance intensive.

wonderful!

During the stream, Alex was presenting several slides. Any chance we could get a copy or link to that?

Trying Lumen in VR today. Will see how it does on my machine. Do what’s that main performance drop, framerates?

re the opposite being said at 34:50 What You Didn't Know About VR Development in Unreal Engine | Inside Unreal - YouTube

The menu seems to spawn and destroy, not just scaled up and down. Specifically in the commented section: “When the reverse timeline finishes, make sure the WIC is returned to its initial hierarchy and destroy ourselves”

Does this change in 5.2 or was it just a misstatement?

This. I’ve never even gotten to fully use VR editing mode, despite really really wanting to, because it does not seem to like the Quest 2 at all.

I misunderstood Alex, I thought he was referring to the logic that we were looking at which scales up/down. The menu is spawned when opened, and destroyed when closed, it has not changed in 5.2.

Hi John! I don’t have permission to share all the slides (they’re behind the ‘instructor-led learning paywall’ so to speak, but 80% of my slides are in the presentation deck from my Unreal Fest talk, which you can download here:

hope it’s helpful!

Hi! I also was interested in seeing the slides so I thank you for sending some of the presentation material! More specifically I would like to see more about the setup of hand tracking in UE5, not all of the blueprint setup was shown in the stream so is there a chance to get some documentation on just that?
