NVIDIA GameWorks Integration

#3440

Thank you GalaxyMan2015 for all your hard works.I am very happy that you after a long time released your branch.Well i have two questions:

1)Is this branch is like your last release 4.9.2 with vxgi,flex,hairwork and wavework?
2)Do you have any plane for releasing your branch again in 4.13 version.because of big features in 4.13 like vertex animation,alembic importer and so many features.if no can you explain briefly how i can merge all nvidia gamework branches into one like yours.
thanks for your reply.

#3441

yes and Cataclysm

There is really no step by step guide, sometimes its easy, especially when the branch NVIDIA has is the same version of UE4 as the one your merging into, such as it was this time around for most of them, other times its much more challenging, like upgrading WaveWorks from 4.9.2 to 4.12.5. As a lot of rendering changes were made, so had to modify a lot of code to make it work again.

#3442

Wow Cataclysm.thanks for reply

#3443

Hello, thank you for this compilation GameWorks. Everything works and vxgi is impressive.
That said, the anti-aliasing (FXAA and temporal AA) does not work with me. Do you know how to fix this?

Yet it is enabled in Project Settings and postprocessing. It is a rather annoying problem, thank you in advance. I use UE4 12.5

#3444

FXAA only works if I force in the nvidia driver. But AA temporal really does not want to work. I have tried disabling SLI, but it changes nothing.

Please, AA temporal is more important than VXGI, but I would really use VXGI too. I have no idea how to fix this …

#3445

For some reason, I had to set r.PostProcessAAQuality 4 in the console to get AA working.

#3446

Super, it worked, thank you! I was afraid not to use VXGI because of this problem. And I found no solution on google …

Thanks again.

Everything works fine with HairWorks, including simulation from animations and wind effects, but when my character moves around the hair doesn’t react at all.

What am I missing here?

#3448

You need to use root motion of some kind to have hair react to movement, as it will not respond to just the character moving around. ie. I animated the root bone of my animation to bob up and down to have the hair react to moving around.

#3449

Thanks for finding a solution, I’ll look into why its the case.

#3450

Unfortunately, this fix is only temporary. AA temporal off unexpectedly randomly … then have to re-enter the console command.
As long as you are in the GameWorks compilation, you will be it possible to add PhysX Dynamic Heightfield in addition to all that you have included?

It would be really great to have a ground which is deformed. I tried to integrate Polyvox to EU4, but I am not happened … I’m a beginner …

#3451

Probably not, as this would only take care of the collision data, would still need to rewrite the rendering portion to support actually changing the landscape tris. Not a trivial task, and I am not really in need of this functionality at this time.

#3452

I understand. Anyway I thank you again for compiling features nvidia, it’s really nice.

#3453

I figured it out, its part of the NVIDIA upscale algorithm thats in Cataclysm. It disables AA. Open up the ConsoleVariables.ini and remove the below entries. If you want to use the upscale algorithm in the future. you need to set those params again.



; NVCHANGE_BEGIN: Improve super-sampling
r.Upscale.Quality=4
r.ScreenPercentage.Editor=1
r.ScreenPercentage=100
r.PostProcessAAQuality=0
; NVCHANGE_END: Improve super-sampling
#3454

Thank you very much, I raised several times the editor and temporal AA works normally.

#3455

With the official integration of Hairworks 1.2 into Unreal 4.12, has anyone experienced performance lag when simulating hair?

To test what I was seeing in the engine, I’ve loaded the same exact project in FurViewer versions 1.1 and 1.2 and noted that Hair will now act very stiffly even jaggedly, and in “slow motion” when animated in 1.2 as opposed to 1.1. where the hair animates normally. Additionally, when the model stops animation, the hair flows freely.

Initially I attempted to re-adjust stiffness and gravity, however when I noted the jagged nature of the Hairworks animation I understood that it may be related to an Animation+performance issue that turned up with the update .

Has anyone else encountered this? Specifically with shoulder length hair.

#3456

Not sure if this will help you or not, as I did notice much stiffer simulation with the same settings in v1.2. Until I set this console command in UE4:



r.HairWorks.FrameRateIndependentRendering 1
#3457

Hi Galaxyman :slight_smile:

Thank you for the advice!

I tried that (and every other Hairworks console setting I could find that could potentially solve the issue) which didn’t show much difference, however I’ve just figured out the solution.

I re-exported the original Hair asset from Maya using the new “1.2” HairWorks plug-in and lo and behold, the hair works perfectly!

Apparently some 1.11 assets wont work as intended with the latest build. (I have another 1.11 asset that seems to work fine)

#3458

Hi.

In packaged games, render commands are queued and executed later, which is different from editor. We have locally fixed this problem. I’m thinking of pointing you to my private GitHub branch. You can treat is as a preview and try.

You can also try to define PLATFORM_RHITHREAD_DEFAULT_BYPASS to 1.

Thanks.

Is anyone using GalaxyMan’s engine and upgraded to the latest Win10? The anniversary update, Redstone or something? It broke my Flex completely, I can’t see any FlexActor after I click the Play button… It was fine yesterday…
