Unreal Engine 4.11 Preview

[n00854180t]

Quick question since sometimes it isn't the case: do the new lighting features work in VR, too?

Thanks for the holiday gift =)

Only complaint I have is I need to do a source build so I can put Substance in it. Need that for my work and models. Owell (goes to download and code)

Awesome updates!!!

Epic Games launcher for Linux, or I will stick to using Unity.

Thanks.

You shouldn't be in that threatening/demanding position since you're not paying a cent for the program.

Yea have to agree with aviel08 the engine is free now....the fact that there is Linux support is awesome imho considering most major engines have little to no Linux support.

Substance plugin doesn't play along very well with 4.11 preview 1, yet.

First crash detected (sorry guys, Answerhub still doesn't work for me).

Created a C++ project, loaded the engine in DevelopmentEditor. Created and opened a new UMG widget. Close the whole editor while the UMG editor is open, without saving the widget and NOT by 'Stopping' in Visual Studio - get a crash here (Line 395, SlateApplicationBase.h)

	static FSlateApplicationBase& Get( )
	{
		checkSlow(IsThreadSafeForSlateRendering());
		return *CurrentBaseApplication;
	}

I can repro this reliably.

What is the callstack, that line doesn't help. That's from someone accessing Slate Application after the Slate module has shutdown.

I made a video that demonstrates how the feature works:

Nice demo video.

Instanced stereo currently works on PC (DirectX) and PS4. Other platforms will be something I look at after 4.11.

Is it safe to say Gear VR projects will have to wait for 4.12 or 4.13 or longer for instanced stereo rendering ?

I will find a way >_> I am known for finding weird things with the Engine. Had LPV working in ways it shouldn't had back in 4.4/4.5 which was fun. Thanks for the heads up though

PrecomputedAOMask doesn't seem to be working in 4.11 preview while it is working in 4.9. Can you guys reproduce?

Hair shading does NOT like point lights. Or I don't know how to use it. A brief explanation of the new nodes would be marvelous.
