[Twitch] 4.5 Check In, Animation Retargeting and More! - Sept. 25, 2014

[varomix]

I just want to know about the LINUX EDITOR, is that going to make it into 4.5? please say YES!!

[mahri726]

I guess that foliage updates made in 4.5. If they weren’t, then probably Epic would respond to so many requests, saying at last , we’re working on it " . They couldn’t reveal this because of the announcement surprise.

Since can check source code, I haven’t noticed any foliage related commits.

Lol, I am finally for it, and I sat there for like 30 min before reading this post to find out that it is tomorrow at 2 and not today.

LMAO, I even read it first too, see you all there tomorrow

What’s new with UMG?

How is ShooterGame XBox One certification process going?

Will we get realistic water support in UE 4.5 ?

If you are asking about reflective translucent matierals, that is still going to be a limitation in 4.5. It is something we are aware of and we are trying to work on it while still using forward rendering.

What’s new with UMG?

A lot of bug fixes and clean up mostly. The new features that show up will make the workflow a bit different than it was previously, but all in all it should be easier to work with.

[3dlight]

Regarding forward rendering… I’ve seen a better skin shader is in the works. Will that make it into 4.5?

[Staazvaind]

curious if they will answer on foliage questions

i add: more in depth terrain painting features.
setting up layers in cryengine is by far faster than UE4’s material editor and still many shader problems…
…in comparison no real fun to use, needs alot of love as the road-tool needs as well.

It also put IDV in a bad position when foliage made with their priced tool comes out sub-par in the engine. That’s not way of treating a company you have worked with for so long that keeps promoting your engine.

I just want a word on this, as it have been requested numerous times and as far as I know, Epic never answered.

I’d like to see this answered too. I agree it makes IDV look bad when they sell grass models, but these can’t be used for grass. I wouldn’t have wanted to purchase those and then be disappointed.

It’s really hard reality check, because when you work in ST modeler, trees look (to say at least), then you import tree to unreal, and you get one BIG WTF IS DAT LOOKING TIZ BAD !?

I’d really love the same the same quality of shading as it in ST Viewport, in unreal.

Edit.
To put it blunt. It’s the reason why I haven’t yet bought single SpeedTree, nor subscribed to SpeedTree modeler. There just no reason to do so for now.

Ah, I misread . I thought he was referring to the subpar performance when using foliage overall. Sorry about that, but I do agree that the lighting needs a lot of work too.

[SwiftIllusion]

It was mentioned in a stream that we barely missed getting 3D UMG implemented into 4.4, will this be available in 4.5? (e.g. attaching UMG to an actor for overhead icons/in-game HUD visualization, etc).

[CharlestonS]

Well i will ask some obvious burning questions regarding 4.5 so please don’t shoot me!

• Will we finally get, with 4.5, Real-Time GI and fully functional emissive lighting, or at the very least static emissive lighting support as we had in UE3?
• Any word on light shafts working on point lights as they did in UE3 with 4.5?
• Will 4.5 finally fix the issue with materials being swapped for the default material during shader compiling?
• A hair simulation such as NVidia HairWorks would be absolutely amazing, can we expect something like this n 4.5 or in the not-too-distant future?
• Can we expect out of the box video file support with 4.5 as we had with UE3?
• Any updated on Screen Space Reflections working with Translucent materials, possibly in 4.5?

Thanks in advance!

PLEASE GIVE US Blender to Unreal FBX LOD support in one fbx file for 4.5!

Okay, I give up on foliage and foliage questions, they are invisible to Epic. Might re-consider switching back to CryEngine then. Cheerz!

[anonymous_user_0c824e78]

Heeeeey, where will you be posted? I want to show my love to UT/Unreal!

[es]

What about blended root motion in 4.5?

UP!!! I’m also waiting for this!

Have some patience, I think you’re over exaggerating the situation. I’m sure you’ll get a response back soon.

tip
I’d suggest you revert the change to your signature as it makes you look amateurish.

Then our previous foliage from CryEngine looks amateurish too -> ://youtu.be/7LwAB_ecdiY?list=UUEkbD0X3AS2d-CCBDcaLjzw
