Hello @! how’s vxgi 4.20 coming along? are you merging .19 version or waiting for 20 version? Your 19 build working flawlessly 🙂 thanks for that! 😃 ---

Your 19 build working flawlessly 🙂 thanks for that! 😃 I’m not actively looking into porting any other GameWorks techs into my 4.20 merge. I looked at VXGI and HairWorks briefly but both contained some changes that would have taken me long time to fix. These both are also probably least useful in actual game development (they are cool for tech demos), VXGI 2 specifically requires + GPU which is a huge limitation for the tech itself. As far as I know, all the techs in my current 4.20-GameWorks branch work with AMD as well. That being said, I’ll probably still add these if Nvidia pushes 4.20 versions into their github repos, just not going to put my own time into porting them. ---

Sounds like your editor is adding bad (or other platform style) line-endings or something like that. Otherwise, yeah- that simply shouldn’t happen. The only reason it \*would \*happen is if the file was being modified, not just _opened_. Try doing an MD5 check on your opened file against a “virgin” version of the same file and see if there is a mismatch, maybe? ---

There ARE missing includes on nvidias 4.19 FleX that might trigger errors if you actually change the file (add or change actual code in it), but simply opening it wouldn’t do . What you said about manually fixing the issues by adding includes would just confirm . I’ve made PR for 4.19 FleX but Nvidia hasn’t accepted it: /pull/523. fixes at least some of the missing includes required to actually package FleX. ---

Cool thanks 🙂 Yeah it definitely happens without touching anything, all I have to do is open it and it’s broken without even clicking on anything in the file or modifying anything. I am pretty new to C++ and visual studio so I thought perhaps I was doing something wrong! But maybe VS is just changing something by itself without me noticing like suggested. Anyway, it’s working now! I’ve been attempting to change the FlexContainerInstance to use per poly collision on skeletal meshes (not sure if is even possible!) but not had any luck yet. I’ve found where it gets the physics bodies from the skeletal mesh and I know how to get the animated mesh verts instead but I can’t work out how to make it actually use it for collision. ---

As for the tutorial, the process has been gone through many times in thread, even recently, just look back some pages. Worth noting that merging is somewhat trivial, upgrading these techs from one engine version to another always isn’t. You need to track down engine API changes, do cross referencing between other engine components to find how you should use certain things on the new version etc, it’s a bit of a detective work and not all that straight forward process that someone could write 1,2,3 step guide for. For example it took me multiple days [to get FleX fixed](https://github//UnrealEngine/commit/72bb869b108ead9c4289dcb690fb4520529cf606) where Volumetric Lighting didn’t require any changes on the engine side from 4.19 to 4.20. But I do guarantee that VXGI2 and Hairworks both require a lot of manual work, it’s the main reason I didn’t port them. ---

It’s the opposite as it’s Nvidia tech, VXGI2 only works fully on + (Nvidia Geforce GTX 900 series or newer). ---

Hi @, i’m working on 4.20 integration for Hairworks. I’ve got all the shaders and c++ compiling. but not everything is working quite yet. I cant figure out how/where to set the new SceneTexturesStruct in Hairworks so i get crash on startup: [ATTACH=]{“data-align”:“none”,“data-size”:“full”,“data-tempid”:“temp\_147015\_1536487500162\_654”,“title”:“Capture.PNG”}[/ATTACH] https://forums.unrealengine/core/image/gif;base64 ​ is my first time touching anything render related, so i’m probably (definitely) making a dumb mistake / don’t really know what i’m doing!

I didn’t check your sources but in general, it’s good practice to find out something similar from the older engine version and then compare how Epic upgraded it for 4.20. I’ve used manual diffs for different engine parts in past to figure out bigger changes to some systems, they’ve been incredibly helpful. ---
