NVIDIA GameWorks Integration

I am very eager to get the HairWorks-UE4 integration pushed up onto Github, but there is more work ahead before we can do that. The latest I heard is that HW will be available in mid-April. Sorry for the delay! The first release will have some rendering limitations, but we plan to follow up with rendering improvements within a month or so after the first release.

Hello ,
Please let me know the HairWorks roadmap for “Maya 2016” support etc.
Will Maya standard equipped XGen (not “Shave and a Haircut”) be available for HairWorks in the future?

Installed the new VXGI branch. 1st try, 0 error. Can’t wait to continue my scenes tonight! Thumbs up Nvidia!

Hey folks,

I got error after the build.

Also after I’ve tried to run after it regardless the erros, I had Message saying “Plugin ‘OculusRift’ failed to load because module 'OculusRift” could not be found.

Edit

I’ve forgot, but firstly when I’ve started the setup bat I got in red lines

Edit2:

I’ve carefully researched it and saw that using third party unzipping software could cause somehting like that, so will give it another try

Edit3:

Tried with WinRar and the windows unzipper, also gave “UnblocK” in advanced, still the red lines appears… =(

Need WaveWorks, FLEX And VXGI For UE 4.7.5…

I need it too, especially waveworks and flex, but without compatibility cross-plataform/nvidia/ati still like the last years, something cool for play in home, but nothing for implement in something serious.

Have you tried building the ShaderCompileWorker tool in the UE4 programs folder? 'Cause that have already been addressed several times in topic.

Now after you’ve mentioned it, I remember seeing same thing somewhere, but forgot to correlate it with my. Currently I’m doing second compile again after it’s done, I’ll make sure to compile the shader folder! Thanks! I hope will work

EDIT:

Didn’t work : (

[Trilec_Cinecells]

Hi,
I see in the GitHub there have been mergers into the 4.7 ,as well as other mergers which seem to indicate FLEX,VXGI ,HBAO etc, are now combined into a single branch.
Sorry if it’s plainly obvious, just wanted to know if my assumption is correct and if so could be reflected in the GitHub page for **NvPhysX/UnrealEngine **so others may know

cheers, and fantastic work on these tech’s

Your image ://i.imgur/Y1sePaL.png looks like VS2012, right? I’m under the impression that you must use VS2013 for UE4 these days. I only use VS2013, but I have noticed that sometimes my machine gets confused and attempts to open UE4’s solution with VS2012, which doesn’t work.

4.7.6 is released, it seems it corrects a crash on startup for MAC users.

Edit: For Epic, would it be ok to release as a benchmark tool?

I’m assuming if it was built as a standalone executable it would be fine, but if it came with the editor etc. it wouldn’t be okay.

Ok, after playing with VXGI for a solid amount of time now, I can confirm I am no longer having any issues. When I run setup directly from VXGI, I do. But when I run setup from release, and THEN switch to VXGI to finish, it works. I don’t know why, but that’s what is happening for me at least.

it still crashes. I followed all the steps posted by . in post #1197 and the assertion fault
“Assertion failed: CascadeIndex < ARRAY_COUNT(CascadedShadowDepthZ)” persists.

Both demo scenes seem to work but when I create a new project (in my case first person BP) and click the play button it crashes. Another example is the “Blueprint” demo that you can find in the “Learn” section of the launcher. the editor doesn’t even show up and eventually leads to the same assertion fault.

I think it’s VS2013 with Update 2, I’ve installed it from my academic account in the university.

However, after reading your post decided to uninstall it, and installed the one in the GitHub VXGI page VS2013 with Update4. Sadly the same errors appeared

if you’re out of ideas, let it go. I’ll try to find another machine and repeat everything.

When you run setup.bat do you say “n” to overwriting the files?

@Atle;275957

Nope, I gave Yes. I guess I should try the other way around?

[Graute]

@;275959

Yes, since you overwrite the needed Nvidia changes if say “n”.

[sarfios]

@Atle;275962

Yes, since you overwrite the needed Nvidia changes if say “n”.

Thanks @Atle
time, I’ve pressed “n” and will compile again to see what will happen.

[sarfios]

Omg works thank you!!! I"m so freaking happy the editor started!

dies from excitement

published a merged branch, but I haven’t published one yet. Still working on it, I have to split my time among several projects right now, sorry for the delay.
