Unreal Engine 4.11 Preview

So far, I love the preview of 4.11.

The Sequencer is shaping up to be a well thought out tool, coupled with EXR output makes me a very happy camper. I’m not sure what else is on the list for inclusion of the Sequencer, but There are a few missing channels from EXR, such as Reflection, and Velocity.

One nice thing for some parameters would be different controllers, similar to how they are implemented in 3DS, such as a noise controller or math expressions. These can be extremely useful for manipulation transforms.

For the life of me, I can’t figure out how to use a PATH track.

Cheers,

Sterling

That’s not already a part of the engine?

DX12 according to the roadmap is still in the works. I think it can be enabled by adding a parametor to the editor exe I think it’s -D3D12 it’s mentioned in the 4.10 thread. Look up “how to enable DX12” should come up.

New physically based shading model for realistic hair based on the latest research from film.

That is not hairworks i.e. does it work well on all graphics cards?

I wonder if it’s just me doing something wrong (probably), or maybe it’s a known bug:

Continue to my first post related to Sequencer testing HERE (click to #73).

Maybe because I added the CameraActor **AFTER ** I’ve added the character track… it’s only playing on Sequencer PLAY button, and when I click PLAY on the UE4 everything on the sequencer works smooth and perfect but play ONLY the very first key of the CameraActor track.

Everything set to AutoPlay, and works great but only the camera ignores the timeline keys and freeze it’s transformation on the very first key I set.

Do you think it’s a bug? or something I did wrong?

Please share your experience with this, or if you know how to fix the problem I’ll be happy to understand.
Thanks ahead! :slight_smile:

  • Sorry about my bad English

EDIT: (SOLVED)
I found the problem, the thing I needed to do was:
I needed to check the “Auto Player Activation” I didn’t know that the camera related or commit to the player, and by default it is disabled.
So I checked it and selected Player 0.

Now when I play it works like MAGIC!

I still have lots to learn and test but… I’m officially in love with Sequencer now!

A material with active is rendering as transparent

What about GPU particles for mobile? This was planned for 4.11

Hello

Me silly download the 4.11 as the launcher suggest me do so, I did not notice that is a preview version. T-T
Even worse, I am working on my lighting portfolio and just found a fog issue when move my level from 4.10 towards 4.11

I had already report it in the question page,

Please help me have a look if possible. sorry to report problem in Xmas eve,

And wish you all a Merry Xmas, thank you so much to bring us the wonderful UE magic.

Have nice holidays.

•New physically based shading model for realistic hair based on the latest research from film. It models 2 specular lobes, transmission, and scattering.
•New physically based shading model for eyes.
•New physically based shading model for cloth. This combines the standard shading model with a layer of velvet fibers. This layer simulates fuzz and fabrics.
Are they VR friendly models?
Have they been tested in VR?

On a converted project from 4.10.1. The editor crashes just after 100% load, every time. When running the project from Visual I can see this error, without Visual it crashes silently.

Unhandled exception at 0x00007FFFD449CC0F (atidxx64.dll) in UE4Editor.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x0000000000000038.

I’m using an AMD R2 290 card on Windows 10. Driver version 15.201.1151.1010-151118a-296614E (Latest, fresh re-install)

The project is based off the C++ vehicle project. I had to change the pawn source to remove this missing variable in 4.11:


PlayerController->PlayerCameraManager->bFollowHmdOrientation = true;

I was able to create a new C++ vehicle project in 4.11p1 and run it without crashes.

Here are the logs, they are un-flushed at intermittent points with no errors.

I have a very similar error in my project, not always, its random (But very normal) but with 4.10.1, not check 4.11 yet.

AMD 290 too 15.30.1025

But i don’t known yet if i doing something wrong. Checking… anyway if in your case works in 4.10.1… its other.

Also want to know about this!

Sorry for that physics report earlier. False alarm. Turned out it was caused by uninitialized vector, that for some reason didn’t cause in 4.10 even though it should. My fault. ::

And let that be a reminder for else. ALWAYS make sure your variables are initialized, or it WILL eventually find a way to bite you in the ***, even if it’s 3 engine updates later.

please please fix UE-23366. crashing after closing PIE or my character BPs really kills it :frowning:

I’ve made a separate thread about this because I consider it a ‘big deal’…

AttachmentReplication in AActor is now private, which means like many other properties, you can’t subclass AActor and then tell certain properties NOT to replicate. I’m all for encapsulation but this is starting to make more advanced Multiplayer Programming a real task…

If AttachmentReplication can’t stay in ‘Protected’ (along with other properties like Owner, RemoteRole etc) - then can we have a solid way to force properties NOT to replicate in AActor subclasses?

Launcher for Linux

[=egotwig;441847]
Epic Games launcher for Linux, or I will stick to using Unity.

Thanks.

Yes, many people have been waiting for the launcher for Linux. UE4 is really awesome, so I left Unity 3D. But we need it on Linux. Please consider making the launcher for Linux.

two questions:

for Apple TV support you mean Apple TV2?

regarding Embree I think it’s the best new feature. Is it possible to create static renders similar to the ones generated by Keyshot? Can we see the progressive render and stop it when we want?
Embree is a path tracing renderer used in Keyshot, Corona and partially in Vray.
I’d like to understand how Embree will work within Unreal Engine.

regards

The lightmass has been improved soooo much!

I haven’t started a project in a Preview before so can anyone tell me if it will be compatible with the final build? I’m sure it would be but just want to double check

UE-24699 Unable to build Linux editor ConvexHull2D file not found

To fix this edit Engine/Source/Runtime/Engine/Private/SubUVAnimation.cpp file. Change line

#include “ConvexHull2D.h”

to

#include “ConvexHull2d.h”

The reason it happen under Linux is because most of users use ext4 filesystem and ext4 filesystem is case sensitive. So files “ConvexHull2D.h” and “ConvexHull2d.h” considered as different files.
