Hello,
I'm on version 4.26.0 and in newly created project isn't avaiable Fracture Editor in Modes menu. Other Chaos stuff are normally available, only Fracture is missing for some reason.
I checked enabled plugins - all required Chaos plugins are enabled (including Fracture Editor), then I tried to create blank pure bluepring/ mixed C++/pure C++ project but without any luck.
Maybe I'm mistaken but according documentation and posts in UE 26 release thread it should work out of the box, yet it doesn't work.
Is it bug or it's intended and I really need enabled something?

feldy repliedAssuming you still have to build chaos in source even in the official 4.26 build?

What are you calling "the OP" ?
The Chaos documentation is broken, open this link and try to click on "Starting out" or "Further reading" : https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/...ion/index.html
Thanks - I've let the docs team know. For issues related to our documentation, you can post on the Documentation Feedback channel: https://forums.unrealengine.com/unre...ation-feedback

Chaos is not available in the 4.26 binary (launcher) versions - you'll have to compile the engine from source. Steps and documentation can be found in the OP.

ZAWA repliedAre physics collisions between static meshes just not working currently in the source build? They all have no collisions with each other, only geometry collections collide with other geometry collections and static meshes.

Rainoxer repliedOriginally posted by unit23 View PostCan I use Chaos in 4.25.3 retail? The plug-in is installed per default (ChaosEditor Beta 1.0), but there is no 'Fracture' mode avail! Help!- Download 4.25 on Github and place it in a folder that is close to your disk's root (if the path is too long, the download/compilation will fail)
- Modify the UE4Editor.Target.cs file located in YourDisk\YourPathToTheEngine\UnrealEngine-4.25.3-release\Engine\Source\UE4Editor.Target.cs by adding these lines to build & activate Chaos :
Code:bCompileChaos = true; bUseChaos = true;
Code:BuildEnvironment = TargetBuildEnvironment.Shared;
Code:BuildEnvironment = TargetBuildEnvironment.Unique;
- Build the engine
- Launch it from Visual Studio by debugging or use YourDisk\YourPathToTheEngine\UnrealEngine-4.25.3-release\Engine\Binaries\Win64\UE4Editor.exe and create a new project
- This is normal if you can't launch the project. In this case, open the file YourDisk\PathToYourProject\YourProjectName\Source\YourProjectEditor.Target.cs and add :
Code:bCompileChaos = true; bUseChaos = true;
- Save the file, restart the editor, launch the project, and then you have to go in the plugins manager to activate all these plugins :
- Chaos Solver
- Chaos Niagara
- Planar Cut
- Editable Mesh
- Geometry
- Geometry Cache
- Field System- Restart the editor to activate the plugins
- Open the fracture mode using the buttons I circled in red in the screenshot.
About using it for a project, it's not recommended in 4.25. Use 4.26 instead.Last edited by Rainoxer; 11-03-2020, 03:14 PM.

Chaos is in 4.26 p3(launcher). It is working OK. A little slow with GC with large number of fracturing. Here is my youtube link. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3N...apPAMqXJsaVBWA
