NVIDIA GameWorks Integration

4.20 hairworks ???

anonymous_user_74483c63 · August 11, 2018, 9:41am

As mentioned, I looked at it briefly, it would require bit too much of my time to port to 4.20 due to the engine changes on integration so I’m not porting it myself, but of course someone else might still do it. The techs I’ve ported didn’t require huge amount of work and that’s how they were selected now.

At stage I’m waiting for 4.20 HairWorks to appear on https://github/niexuchina/UnrealEngineHairWorks and the other GameWorks things at (they are still all at 4.19)

samrat333 · August 11, 2018, 2:30pm

is only 4.19

I removed the offending check from 4.20 that made FleX crash on softbodies and FleX seems to run now, is not a good solution but it acts as workaround for the time being. I still need to fix some of the issues found in packaging so I’ll probably push FleX into 4.20 GameWorks repo tomorrow.

anonymous_user_74483c63 · August 13, 2018, 11:11pm

I pushed the FleX update and added readme into: https://github//UnrealEngi…4.20-GameWorks

Be sure to check the readme for further details.

That’s great. It looks like we only need VXGI and Waveworks to get the full Gameworks 4.20 fantasy engine!！！

Added HBAO+ 4 into my4.20-GameWorks merge. It’s a slightly modified integration to fix some issues: it now uses SSAO RT instead of screen color, which a) lets us use properly in forward rendering b) let’s us use ue4’s own ambient occlusion buffer visualization for HBAO+ c) in deferred, will give weaker AO on lit areas, just like with built-in SSAO. New limitation of approach is that you can’t use HBAO+ and SSAO both on deferred now, so to see HBAO+, make sure SSAO is disabled.

@MiroYar oh, that’s explains how those dependencies worked then I was kinda wondering about it but I seemed to have a local cache so it never failed for me. I just pushed a fix, should work now (you can also manually apply the changes from https://github//UnrealEngi…fd7626b178cd0f if downloaded as a zip)

anonymous_user_0f5372be1 · August 18, 2018, 12:30am

Thank you!

I haven’t used VXGI 2.0 in a while, has anybody been able to improve the performance with tweaks? I really need some real time GI for my game, VXGI 2.0 looks sweet but the performance impact is just too much.

samrat333 · August 18, 2018, 7:35am

anybody update hairworks 4.20 ???

Cytokinetik · August 19, 2018, 9:47am

I have been testing VXGI thoroughly and it seems that I was able to squeeze much more performance out of VXGI 1 in the 4.18 branch(30%+ more). The major downside is no VXAO in tandem with diffuse tracing like possible in 2.0. Diffuse tracing in VXGI 1 is also still backwards compatible with non- series Nvidia cards though.
It seems that VXGI 2 is hard-coded in reducing quality settings to anything usable in-game minus a 1070 or higher.

Hi,

I search the answer already but the last “PC only for now” was two years ago. So I’m asking question again: His Flex supported on Xbox/PS4?

Thanks

anonymous_user_74483c63 · August 21, 2018, 12:17pm

@mrblimack, GameWorks techs in these UE4 branches are usually Win32 and Win64 only, Nvidia hasn’t shipped libraries for other platforms even if their tech would support them. Only exception I know is that Blast also has Linux binaries for the those libs. But for example FleX is definitely windows only, you can check https://developer.nvidia/gameworks for further information on the actual libraries limitations (most are still limited to PC space).

mrblimack · August 21, 2018, 3:39pm

@ Thank you for the answer!

Anyone know about the state of the Ray Tracing GameWorks integration?

https://developer.nvidia/gameworks-ray-tracing

It’s invite-only, “early access” right now… just curious if will be available for all developers to use when consumer RTX cards ship in September.

anonymous_user_0fe099fd · August 21, 2018, 5:32pm

For WaveWorks, does anyone have a advice for me on how to increase the view distance while under water. I appreciate any help you guys are able to provide.

Thank you.

EDIT: Took some time, but if you edit the base values of the Power Expressions in the “OceanUnderWaterScatterPP” Blueprint you can reduce the faid. You need to do for both Distance Fog and Fade Distance.

Later year or begining of next year, there will integration in engine. Main branch.

Alright, well I fixed my old, but now I have “can’t find definition for module”. It gives the same error when running generateprojectfiles.bat stating
