NVIDIA GameWorks Integration

, when you update the engine, could you see if merging https://github/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/commit/ef2256631b3a54fb615cafe22662b2f929189de8 would be possible? It’s not in the official 4.8 branch yet, but it is a significant update to LPVs. The main changes are that it adds spotlight support and directional occlusion. Always a good idea to keep both systems up to date, for lower spec machines to be able to run the game.

I also just noticed the Nvidia branch updated with : /tree/Turbulence-4.7.6

I was under the impression that ApeX Turbulence’s functionality was already adapted in some way in-engine for the GPU particles. Does anyone know if there’s a significant difference between them?

I will update with the LPV changes, was planning on doing that, but had forgotten, so thanks for the reminder. As for turbulence. I believe Epic went with their own GPU particle solution in the end so as to remain GPU and OS agnostic. But Turbulence now encompasses more than just GPU particles, it also includes what used to be called FlameWorks (Please correct me if I am wrong ).

Will try to merge Turbulence and WaveWorks as well.

Wait what? Turbulence? really?

I second 's request to include the LPV update, unless it provides too much work, maybe it could be added later on maybe? But the general thought of providing the user a cheaper alternative is a good thing.

Also, you are right . Some of the features of Turbulence are already included in the cascade editor, but maybe Nvidia updated or extended the functionality? https://answers.unrealengine/questions/63215/does-anybody-know-how-to-integrate-apexnvidia-turb.html

Maybe could tell us more about new branch?

begging for help!!!pleassssssssssssse!!!

I downloaded the UnrealEngine-4.8p3_VXGI_FleX_HW_HBAO

and![3ADMX`COR6])_MN$SZSS$@T.jpg|651x497](upload://qCi2SKJ9cEkf26DyhOuPgIZZsZw.jpeg)

what should I do to make it work???

sorry for my english

Run the setup, select N for no, and let it download all the files it needs to.

Sorry for the lack of fanfare, I pushed it to the server late in the week, and hadn’t finished my round-trip testing yet. I’m working on that now. branch has Turbulence integration on top of UE4-4.7.6…and yes, we do plan to upgrade to 4.8 ASAP.

Edit: I ran a clean test using a fresh clone, the branch appears to be complete and functioning properly.

no thats fine. So now we have ability to simulate fluid fire, smokes right?

Hmmm, not sure about that. Turbulence is usually used for spells, weapons , etc. It is a grid-based fluid simulation into which you inject particles. The particles are rendered, but generally the fluid simulation itself is not.

Make sure your logged into your github account and that it is linked to your UE4 account as per link:

Okay I have updated my merged branch to the latest 4.8 build. You can get the updated branch : https://github//UnrealEngine/tree/4.8_NVIDIA_Techs

is just the same as the preview 3 one, contains VXGI + HairWorks + FLEX + HBAO+. Now also contains 's POM material function. I will add Turbulence and WaveWorks (If I can) and also the latest LPV improvements from Lionhead

[Gandosh]

You rock! thank you.

[anonymous_user_1961a1c9]

Hello , thank you very much for updating the merged branch to the latest 4.8 build.
After the setup.bat and GenerateProjectFiles.bat , I built the entire Solution UE4 (with 42 projects) (So, I did not compile ShaderCompileWorker separately.). Then in the Doco folder, I get VXGI , Hairworks and Flex folders with their documentaions , but there is no HBAO+ !!! Can you please guide ? Why is HBAO+ MISSING ?

Note : I downloaded the ZIP file, https://github//UnrealEngine/archive/4.8_NVIDIA_Techs.zip , to get the code from your Github , instead of cloning from Github .

[anonymous_user_bcf66e2c]

Coz there was no HBAO+ doco at the time. If there is now, I will add it.

[anonymous_user_1961a1c9]

Thank you very much for the reply. I request for a small help.

I wish to observe the of HBAO+ in UE4. Before starting Unreal in UnrealEngine-4.8_NVIDIA_Techs/Binaries/Win64 - UE4Editor.exe , I set r.HBAO.Enable 1 in UnrealEngine-4.8_NVIDIA_Techs/Engine/Config/ConsoleVariables.ini . After the engine starts , can you please guide as to how to see the HBAO+ in UE4 ?

As far as I understand , it is for ’ special soft shadows '. (For example, to observe the VXGI effect , we need to select the light elements, as every light element in the scene has a VXGI parameter to vary for . ) When I open NVTechDemos/NVTechDemos.uproject , it opens HairWorksExampleMap as one of the tabs .

Please help …

[anonymous_user_bcf66e2c]

r.HBAO.VisualizeAO 1 in the console should show u the AO contribution.

The NVTechDemos, are my demos, they are in no way connected to NVIDIA, there is a HairWorks demo and two VXGI ones, they aren’t anything spectacular, just some quick examples to show the tech.

Can you give a quick overview which features/branches will work on XB One and PS4 ?

Yeah, would be nice to know how fast one could meltdown one of these with GameWorks. Just kidding. I would like to get some clarification too, but for a different aspect.

It would be nice to know how well (or if at all) the current provided techs (WaveWorks, HBAO+, VXGI, Flex, HairWorks and Turbulence) work on different gpu architectures (, Kepler and AMD ones).
Some kind of table or rough explanation would be very nice, since I have no way of testing these techs across different GPUs. I only have my single 970 and nothing else, so getting a bit of light in the dark would be appreciated.
