good job 
Hi , are you planning on updating block to 4.13? I naively thought I would be able to, but I’m stuck on a uniform buffer not being properly declared or something. “undeclared identifier PSConstants”.
After replacing some AttachTo() with SetupAttachment() and weirdly renaming PSConstants and PSVariables to PSConstant and PSVariable respectively it works with 4.13.
Wow booniee you just saved my day!! I had totally no idea why the tutorial didn’t work after upgrading to 4.13 before I realized there are some weird naming magic happening.
That being said, I would be really appreciated if could include more comprehensive document about how to create a shader, bind resources a shader, read / write resources, and execute a shader. The rendering APIs look still very mysterious. Thanks!:o
Booniee is the man!
Thanks 
I’m planning to expand tutorial set to include material integration tutorials. I’m not sure when I feel ready to upload it though, a lot of other stuff going on atm ^^;

I can’t get the project to work in either 4.12 or 4.13. The blocks just end up being colored black. In addition, the character can’t move or jump, although the character can look around and shoot. I put in breakpoints and seems like all the events are firing, so I’m not sure what the is. Do you think you could release an updated project? It seems like lots of the assets are incompatible as well. It’d be great if you could post a more in depth and updated tutorial! Also, will these custom shaders work on mobile devices?
Thanks for ! I’m trying to figure out how some of the magic works. Can you elaborate on how the RenderTargets work in the pipeline?
- At which stage of the pipeline are you inserting demo shader?
- How can I set the render target to be the camera’s color buffer (and other buffers)? (so I can have a fullscreen effect at a certain stage of the pipeline)
ReplacingCurrentTexturewithFSceneRenderTargets.GetSceneColor()->GetRenderTargetItem().TargetableTexture;I don’t see the screen changing at all, theDrawPrimitiveUPis still somehow writing to some hidden render target texture.
If you’re having trouble porting it to the latest version, check out the existing Forks of project, a few others have already ported it: https://github.com//UE4ShaderPluginDemo/network
is really crippling. It takes 2 minutes to “recompile” a shader, because you have to close and re-open the engine and recompile the shaders.
Compare with near instant shader compilation in every other tool/engine/framework I can imagine.
Change 1 line, wait 2 minutes and repeat… :<
Epic’s engine architecture has gotten pretty archaic, and more blueprints won’t fix it.
Hallo there!
I missed followup!
I’ve been working on another quite large plugin for the community, so I haven’t been checking the forum :<.
In regards to my earlier statements about upgrading the sample, I’m still thinking about it, but I there is a lot of stuff I would want to do, and I’m not sure when I would have the time to.
Regarding your questions:
- At which stage of the pipeline are you inserting demo shader?
> So there are a lot of different ways to insert a shader into the engine. The demo I made is using the simplest way (the ENQUEUE_RENDER_COMMAND). Like the name suggests, simply puts the command in a message pump queue and will be serviced as soon as the engine can. The deferred renderer regularly services queue, which is nice, but since it does it checks the queue like 20-30 times every frame it is unfortunately not very deterministic, so if you want to integrate with engine rendering in some way, then is not the way to go. There are other ways to integrate though!
The second way is about as easy as the render command queue and is accessed through the IRenderer module interface. You can find a delegate event here that like its name suggests will trigger after opaque rendering is done.
You hook onto it much like any other delegate. It doesn’t have a matching unregister function though, so make sure to store your delegate so you can unbind later:
RenderDelegate = FPostOpaqueRenderDelegate::CreateRaw(, &MyFancyRenderingClass::RenderCallback);
IRendererModule* RendererModule = FModuleManager::GetModulePtr<IRendererModule>(FName("Renderer"));
RendererModule->RegisterPostOpaqueRenderDelegate(RenderDelegate);
The third way to access rendering functionality in the engine is a lot more complex and involves integrating with the material system (render proxies, vertex factories etc. etc.). I can’t simply post code here to elaborate, but is something I would like to put into my upgraded tutorial whenever I get around to it!
- How can I set the render target to be the camera’s color buffer (and other buffers)? (so I can have a fullscreen effect at a certain stage of the pipeline)
Essentially what you suggested would work, but you need to do it at a deterministic entry point. So you cannot run it from ENQUEUE_RENDER_COMMAND if that is your goal.
When it comes to recompiling shaders, you can recompile usf shaders very easily by just issuing the console command “RecompileShaders Changed”.
Now, if you mean the Cpp parts of the shaders, then yes, that is a lot harder. I have talked to some Epic rendering engineers about , and it is essentially because part of the shader Cpp definitions are statically linked into the rendering module when you compile the engine. They know that it’s not ideal, but that type of iteration was not a design goal at the time. There is also the problem of plugins not being easily hotreloaded (they can be under some circumstances if I understand correctly, but in general they are not.)
They did say that it would not be impossible to fix, but I got the impression that it’s not a priority
Some possible fixes could include an option to recompile and hotreload the rendering module and it’s dependencies, or creating a sideloading system to allow for both types of shader definition.
Hopefully we will get a good solution eventually.
I hope info was of some use to someone.
Best regards,
Awesome and taught me alot ! Thanks !
thanks for teaching me a lot.
FComputeShaderDeclaration not found on Mac OS (El Capitan), UE4.14
I just tried the Shader Plugin Demo on Mac OS El Capitan with 4.14. I got an exception, as listed below, after hitting Alt+P to start Play In Editor.
Any clues? Did I forget any registration?
I modified all uplugin to have 4.14 as associated engine. Generated XcodeWorkspace files and compiled the whole thing.

If you need any help please just let us know there, on github or sth
As I see in the other threads on the forum there are many people struggle finding their way around implementing more advanced shader stuff. For example I AFAIK need to edit the engine even to create tools/API for Post Process shaders like your plugin (which si amazing btw) to be executed in exact order along other in pipeline.
Also we can give you tons of feedback ex. Unity’s Command Buffers seem to be flexible, usable and have lot of potential as it was already said.
Greetings! Smells like dead thread, but i’ll try it out…
I’am working on procedural universe renderer. At the moment i have some sort of prototype developed under Unity.
Now i’am experimenting with UE4, so i spend some time to keep example project alive.
Working on 4.15p3.
Let me know, if you wanna cooperate.
https://github.com/zameran/UE4ShaderPluginDemo
Hey, zameran!
Pulled and compiled your fork. That’s pretty awesome things you did there.
Shame I spotted it after two months, issues on github or anything that could help?
I am still looking forward to convenient workflow with HLSL.
Wow!
Hey, sp01sh!
Glad to see someone in thread! I have my notification about activity here enabled, so i’ll be always in touch!
Good to know that my work is useful! (or isn’t?)
Let me know, if something wrong with my stuff, cuz i doesn’t have any experience in contributing to another project, so…
But it’s a good idea to keep project alive. I can help, if you want. Just be in touch.
I’ve also enabled thread notification.
No problem, it looks good to me
I’ll post when, I have some working code to share.
Can’t wait 
BTW, will it be opensource?
yeah, why not
As an update project works out of the box for me on 4.16.1.
Thanks ! Can’t wait to see if I can get around using Custom nodes by using instead.
Running into performance issues with rendering a Mandelbulb using Volumetric decals due to lack of compiler optimizations, and my shader would be too complicated/annoying to write as a post-process Material from Custom nodes alone.
Does anyone know for a fact if the shaders declared as .usf don’t suffer from the same problem as Custom nodes? It makes sense that they wouldn’t considering that a lot of engine functionality is written into them. Would be nice to know for certain though.
