NVIDIA GameWorks Integration

#3065

Thanks a lot! Looking into it atm I’ve skipped past it multiple times but guess I got overwhelmed by the amount of code :smiley:

I have one more question; is it possible to attach a flex cloth to another flex cloth object in Unreal? (Lock particles into eachother)
Sorry if this has been answered before :slight_smile:

Greetings,
Rioly.

Mike.Skolones hello i m a maya user i download ue 4.8 , 4.11 but no option for hair how can create realstic hair in ue plz help me give me easy way

Yes, that’s true. Not all GameWorks, just some libraries though.
Here’s the official press release: http://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/nvidia-advances-real-time-game-rendering-and-simulation-with-launch-of-nvidia-gameworks-sdk-3-1

As I read it, Flex is now a part of the PhysX library (But called Nvidia Flow), is this true, and how will this affect the UE4 integration?

#3069

Flow is a new library for performing grid-based fluid simulation, Flex remains a standalone library (separate from PhysX) for particle based dynamics. We will maintain UE4 integrations for both libraries, as they are designed to complement each other.

#3070

From Flex’s point of view this is quite possible - however there is currently no mechanism to author these types of cloth-cloth attachments in UE4.

Will the VXAO and Volumetric Lighting be integrated into Unreal ?

#3072

Not sure about VXAO, but volumetric lighting is in their “to do” list Trello

#3073

Yeah since 2 years ago :rolleyes:

#3074

Well, guys from Ninja Theory (very small team) write their own volumetrics for Hellblade, so it doesn’t looks like a super hard task

#3075

Yeah, but you also have to maintain it. Would be nice, to just have it in mainline engine version.

#3076

100%, with other ordinary things, like water shader (+ better reflections on translucent), adequate AA without ghosting… should be enough to make 50% of engine customers happy. This and dynamic GI will make happy 99% of them… (considering rendering only)

#3077

Will there be VS2015 support added to the current 4.10 build or is that going to be coming with the 4.11 VXGI branch?

#3078

Hi I am using Hairworks 1.1.1-62, Windows10. I am unable to run the fur viewer, both the 32 and 64 bit versions. If I double click FurViewer.exe there seems to be some activity and then nothing happens. No error messages either.

The Sample viewers work as does the nVidia Gameworks branch of the Unreal Engine. I have exported hair APX out of 3DSMAX and imported into UE4. Only the FurViewer executables dont start up…
Also tried installing the DirectX 2010 runtime.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks
Sanjit

Isn’t VXAO already part of VXGI? As I understood things from Alexey on this, it’s just the ambient term of VXGI which you can access/isolate by enabling r.VXGI.AmbientOcclusionMode 1 via console.

Anybody else having problems reaching the Gameworks github? I keep getting “Page Not Found” on this URL: https://github.com/NvPhysX/UnrealEngine

#3081

No problem here, i can access it without any issue. :confused:

#3082

Wrong log in from me. Thanks!

#3083

Np, yw! :rolleyes:

Huge thanks to Galaxy Man and the NV team for getting all of this tech into the Unreal Engine!

I’ve built the Galaxy Man branch and then pulled in the sample level from the NV-official branch. I’ve noticed 3 problems:

  1. In the translucent surface material, there’s a broken node labeled “unspecified function”.
  2. My water renders as squares.
  3. The NV documentation says that the blend mode material used for the particles should be set to masked, however it must be translucent to use the scene color.

Are these related problems? Any solutions so far?

If there are answers to any of these questions already, please let me know. It would be nice to have a better home for all this info than 70 pages of forum posts :slight_smile:
