NVIDIA GameWorks Integration

[Number47]

From what I can see in our UE4 integration group at NV, Hair Works will probably the next out the door, and with any luck we’ll be uploading it to Github soon after GDC.

However Turf is starting to take shape too, and I’d like to open a discussion that will guide our efforts, so that the integration works well from day one.

To start, would anyone like to post screenshots of typical scenes where you are using conventional UE4 features to plant grass, and could you describe the workflow considerations? For example, are you generating grass procedurally?

Thanks,

I am sorry, I don’t have any screenshots, but I can think of 3 ways for authoring Turf grass within UE4:

1. Being able to paint Turf grass onto a terrain in Landscape should be an obvious choice
2. Painting Turf grass on static/(maybe even skeletal) meshes through vertex painting would be very nice and usefull.
3. Applying Turf grass to a static/skeletal mesh through a material could also be a very hand way to use Turf grass.

Question: Is Turf only limited to grass or will we able to create our own vegetation? Bioshock springs to mind, and the ability to plant subaquatic plants would be awsome.
