Unfortunately I get these:

2>[1/3] Link UE4Editor-D3D11RHI.dll
2>[2/3] Link UE4Editor-SteamVR.dll
2>[3/3] Link UE4Editor-SteamVRController.dll
2>LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'openvr_api.lib'
2>LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'openvr_api.lib'
2>LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'GFSDK_Aftermath_Lib.lib'

I already deleted my Intermediate folder, no dice.

Anyone got any ideas?

They did say hot reload on VS2015 was broken with linker errors, right in the first post.

For those already experimenting with VolumentricLight,
Could you do some comparisions on visual/performance hits with different detailsettings? Like how visible are the differences between low resolution VolumentricLight and High and its performance differences?
(Not at home right now :/)

What happened to the USD plug from Pixar.?

It is in there as an experimental plugin. You have to enable it first.

I have not tested it so i am sorry if wrong but is that volumetric really is only screen space effect so looking away from volumetric source location disables volume rays? anyone has more videos about volumetrics? please post.

As for Base Human Control Rig I have issue with eyes. Don't know how to resolve it.

Any ideas?

Edit: I needed to create control rig in skel mesh asset and resave sequence.

btw. any chance to have more control over head bones? eg mouth, eyes for dialogue animations/poses. I think this is doable in current system but no idea how to start.

Feedback: When exporting from Sequence it would be nice to tell which frames should be exported. (all frames, from-to) Basically I'm using this tool for prototype poses and possibility to export exact frame is great.

Who said anything about hot reload?

Likely your header file is missing the following includes:

#include "UObject/ObjectMacros.h"
#include "UObject/ScriptMacros.h"

You should no longer have to include those yourself in every header as the generated header files now have those lines emitted in to them.

Volumetric Fog with a single light if you look directly give 9ms of cost, 8ms at look other world zone. When is disabled cost 6ms.

There is no a single volumetric system that cost this lots of ms in the market. From 2.5 to 3.5ms

Test using 970GTX on 1080p

What are the costs in more intensive setups with multiple lights? What about indoor scenes vs landscapes?
