NVIDIA GameWorks Integration

where can i get ? every link i seei n post its broken

[kirk.clawson]

They’re not broken, that’s just GitHub weirdness. They really should be throwing a 403 forbidden instead of a 404 not found.

You have to be logged into GitHub, and you have to have your Unreal account linked to your GitHub account.

I started on a merged branch, and fixed the where FleX and WaveWorks didn’t play nicely with the GPU resources. I’ll continue to work on the merged branch after the new VXGI comes out week. The FleX water shader should be out the door next week, I believe.

Thank you very much for that and I hope to see sand/dirt shader too!

BTW , it seems 4.7.5 is coming soon because 4.7.4 has some critical errors. In case you need more infos to update NVidia gameworks branch with 4.7.5, please contact Epic staff for more infos. Thanks !

Hi ,do you guys ever think how the user can integate your work to their own branch of engine? Say if I have a local branch which already contain lots of change of the engine, branch maybe even not a github fork.And we develop game on that.So I can’t directly get the waveworks branch and use it.What should I do? Merge the code manully will be very frustating and also suffer from future update. What’s your idea on ? Thanks.

Yes, you should be able to merge the code and keep up to date. I can’t promise that would be trivial, but we’ve been doing for years with UE3 and Perforce. I think the Github system should make it much easier. Of course, if your customized branch makes fundamental changes to the renderer or other systems that are touched by WaveWorks, VXGI, FleX, etc., you will have more work to do when you merge.

You guys seem to be making a bit more complicated than it should be.
I have never had problems getting every branch of vxgi to work, including the merged branch:

1. Download
2. Run Setup.bat
3. When it says in red “The following file(s) have been modified:” type “n”.
4. GenerateProjectFiles.bat
5. Open UE4.sln and build UE4
6. Build ShaderCompilerWorker under Programs

I did everything. After I’ve build the shaderCompilerWorker, what’s next?
Sorry, I’m not code-oriented

And someone please tell me the branch with /NvPhysX/UnrealEngine

Includes the VXGI or I’ll put an end to my life

Run the editor, load a map. Which branch are you using ? WaveWorks, VXGI?

[sarfios]

Hey @

Thanks for trying to lend a hand!

I just couldn’t stay still and wait for all these amazing things getting integrated in the Engine. I’ve downloaded /NvPhysX/UnrealEngine I hope it includes VXGI, which is my most desired chocolate from the box.
Then I applied all the steps, Downloading Visual Studio 2013 and everything else.

By run the editor, I though it’s Test>Run All test, now I’m waiting some kind of compiling to finish… laughs on everyone readying … =D

It’s suppose to start it from UnrealEngine-release\UnrealEngine-release\Engine\Binaries\Win64 somewhere?

Sorry for getting in with such shallow matter, but it’s your bad for making GameWorks so appetizing that couldn’t be resisted!

Ah hello I am new to I compiled Vxiglobal illumination branch from the github site and I am having an (I built it with 0 errors finally ) and when I run the editor it freezes at 9 %can anyone help me ? I am not the main programmer on the project I just wanted to test the Visual art asset

It must be shader compiler (if i remember correctly). You have to build shader compile worker check back couple of pages for more information.

About FLEX, would it be able to do something like the FluidSurface Actor? Something like cloth, but then allowing objects to pass through?

[Jambax]

@.;259871

Something sounds wrong there. Are you running the latest driver? By ‘sample scene’, do you mean the Cornell Box? It sounds like you are seeing anomalous behavior, I don’t know why that would happen. Could you capture a movie with stats visible? Did you say you are running the version from 's repo? Have you also tried the 4.6 version from the NvPhysX repo? I’m wondering if something is amiss with the 4.7.3 changes. We should have a fresh update from the VXGI team later week, I know they had some concerns about the changes they had seen in 4.7.3.

Thanks,

I’ll get on that tonight, sorry for the delay! Been a busy bee

Is there a way to preview the Voxelization in the Editor too? Perhaps I’m doing a lot more samples than anybody else without intending too. I’m only using a 1920*1080 monitor though.

Have you tried “r.VXGI.DebugMode 2”? should show the voxelization.

That’s what we’re working on. You can see the intended effect in the FleX demo, which is buried down in the Third Party source folders.

Hi, welcome to the party! Compiling UE4 takes a looong time on most machines. I usually run the editor from Visual Studio, by setting the UE4 to be the ‘startup project’, using ‘Development Editor’ as the configuration choice in the dropdown list at the center of the menu/tool bar. There are plenty of resources in the UE4 docs regarding the details of how to run UE4 from Visual Studio.

Regarding “I hope it includes VXGI, which is my most desired chocolate from the box.”, if you downloaded by cloning the tree using Git, you will have to ‘checkout’ the VXGI branch. If you download by grabbing the zip file, you get it by selecting ‘VXGI’ in the little window that says ‘branch:release’ in the upper-left corner of the table on the Github page, then click the ‘Download Zip’ button found in the lower-right corner.

[sarfios]

Thanks @!

Throwing some light helped me a lot! Even it was side things from what you’re for! Glad we’re having you ! Will try to create something beautiful with the VXGI! So the efforts are not in vain =)

I don’t see the need to update to 4.7.5 as is only a hotfix.

If he can and that isn’t hard, why not?

We still have lot of possibilities in current version. I think there is no need for upgrade. In 4.7 i dont see as hell upgrades like 4.8. So we better wait for 4.8 to upgrade.
----EDIT-----
Oh… 4.7.x was coming. Ok then xD
