NVIDIA GameWorks Integration

[TrinityMS]

Will HairWorks and Waveworks be updated for the UnrealEngine 4.16?
How long does it take to wait?
We will be grateful for the answer!

@: Any news on VXGI release for UE4.16? Thank you.

Hello, i’m afraid you grabbed the 4.15.3 branch, check on the left, if you downloaded by .zip it also should be the name of the .zip of course.
The 4.16 branch will actually show 4.17 on splashscreen. I grabbed the source for build exactly when they isolated their 4.16 work to prepare it for release.

Also please note that you can’t package with 4.16 branch as it is right now.

I actually stopped playing with build in the middle of adding Hairworks to it, it would appears that it’s one of the preventing proper packaging. I need to remove HairWorks from build to check and see.
Would be cool to be able to package with GameWork on 4.16, would “only” need to update to current 4.16 to get it over with.

Hi. What kind of package do you have with HairWorks?

It’s on the way. If you want to get it earlier, please visit https://github/niexuchina/UnrealEngineHairWorks/tree/4.16-HairWorks1.3

Engine\Source\Runtime\Renderer\Private\ShadowRendering.cpp in function: void FProjectedShadowInfo::SetupProjectionStencilMask

From line 797
to line 825

the

#if WITH_FLEX
#else
#endif //Flex

It produce error if not with flex, and the function gets broken because the terminate brackets gets removed from the for or if, really dono what You trying to achieve .

Thanks, looks like got broken during a merge. We’re currently refactoring the fluid surface rendering (which is what change relates to), should get cleaned up in the next push.

Hi. What kind of package do you have with HairWorks?

Hello, Hairworks wasn’t the. I just ported the other GameWorks to 4.16 2months ago and it was a bit dirty code and there, while overall failling to package.

I did not completely port Hairworks to 4.16, and actually stopped in the middle of the job.

@. : any plan to add waveworks with the new 4.16 volumetric fog plase ?

Please help, I already do not know what to do! Does not want a build. Tried a lot of solutions, but without success. I used branch (https://github/sieumeo/UnrealEngine/tree/VXGI+Hairworks+Flex+Flow). Can you suggest a solution or a similar branch with Flex + Flow? I have other branches, but not all, through time.
are my steps:
Run Setup.bat, answer “N” when it asks you about overwriting some files - otherwise it will replace new NVAPI libraries with old ones, and UE4 won’t build. (But he did not ask me anything.)
Run GenerateProjectFiles.bat
Open UE4.sln, build UE4 and ShaderCompileWorker projects. I use: Windows 10 Pro 15063.413 and Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate. Thanks in advance.

Does casting shadows from Flow components on other objects (or casting shadows on Flow ) works in recent version? The same question for light: can Flow components reflect light?
If any of these works I would be grateful for simple step-by-step guide how to set it

@RuTzoT

I recommend You to.
get Visual Studio 2015 for UE4 and libraries compatibility, and project packaging. Install .
get Build Tools 2015 Update 3 The release is also available via a standalone Build Tools 2015 Update 3 installer. Install .
get Windows SDK 8.1 Windows SDK 8.1 if not full instaled in your system.
get Windows SDK 10 for new upcomings changes, install if you want.

My advice it’s You extract the repo to an folder and run setup.bat normally, and again extract the repo and overwrite the last extracted folder, and do not run the setup.bat after .

Delete all Intermediate folders and Saved folder

Generate projects.

Build

Etc…

Anyone having issues with VXGI and VR using the Vive?

I notice that on the left eye I have no shadows and on the right eye I have shadows, giving pretty bad results in VR…

Is there a solutionj for that, since ( looking around ) I’m not the only one experiencing ?

[RuTzoT]

@ .

Hello, I tried to install your branch (https://github/MaximeDup/UnrealEngine/tree/4.16-Old-GameWorks), but it fails compilation.
Could you help me to solve problem?

[MaximeDupart]

sigh Looks like there’s a lib missing

Drop file in …/Engine/Plugins/GameWorks/NvFlow/Include/win64/NvFlowLibRelease_win64.lib

https://drive.google/open?id=0B1pAHM5xWbysYmRkMHk4T0xkRHM

Please keep in mind you cannot package anything with build. It’s merely to play around, you might even crash etc… 4.16 build is a pre-released from 3 months ago.

Aa, very sorry (
Flow and Flex are few in anybody integrated into UE4. Well, good luck with integration!)

Two things:
First, I found another null pointer reference in WaveWorks branch resulting in “Fatal error” on loading project. To fix it just replace lines 175-187 of file Engine\Source\Runtime\Engine\Private\WaveWorksRender.cpp with code:

float YAxisMultiplier = 1.0f;

if (WaveWorks->ShoreLineDistanceFieldTexture != nullptr) {
	FIntPoint RenderTargetSize(WaveWorks->ShoreLineDistanceFieldTexture->GetSurfaceWidth(), WaveWorks->ShoreLineDistanceFieldTexture->GetSurfaceHeight());
	if (RenderTargetSize.X > RenderTargetSize.Y)
	{
		// if the viewport is wider than it is tall
		YAxisMultiplier = RenderTargetSize.X / (float)RenderTargetSize.Y;
	}
}

I have already made pull request on Nvidia repository.

Second, if anyone is still interested in 4.15.1 then I have created a fork of Nvidia repository with UE 4.15.1 branch having merged:

• HairWorks
• WaveWorks
• FleX
• VXGI
• Volumetric Lighting
• Flow
  all together and is available : https://github/lukaszPJATK/UnrealEngine
  Feel free to use it

version can work well in editor but when i package it’s failed i have just tested in many projects failed package in “module.engine.29_of_39.cpp” can you fix it?? @LukaszPJWSTK

Guys, can I have some help? I’ve tried implementing waveworks but it just wont work. I have made a video of what I did, including errors at the end. Important timestamps are in the description:watch?v=ldEe518jGsg
Thanks-
MG

I think you need to use github desktop to prevent error
i used to see eror when i download unrealengine-wavework.zip in github
if you use github desktop to download repo it’s no error i tested
