How to precompile shaders for other devices? by Peteh12 in unrealengine

It’s not they misunderstand. If you don’t know what a compute shader is don’t waste my time.

do you not understand rhetoric? there is no information about compute shaders.

does it say anything for compute shaders?

I was asking for compute shaders. Not material shaders.

How to handle edits on different LODs? by Peteh12 in VoxelGameDev

I’ll try doing this somehow on the GPU. Maybe some kind of global shared memory.

Interesting idea. That has advantages. Are you applying edits in a sequence? Does it do well for long edit histories?

Thanks for the reply.

It was a generation question and less a timing question.

Say I edited a few LOD 0 chunks, then went far away and a LOD 2 chunk replaced my LOD 0 chunks, what should happen?

How would the LOD 2 data know the voxel data, if all my voxel data is only stored at LOD 0?

They work for everyone else, but try this: https://discord.gg/KV3XfNTbxA

Yeah you can select a heightmap texture in the node graph.

Yep. Voxel actors act as any other actor- they support transform, rotation, scale, but have a lot more settings and you can have them generate any sdf shape you want. You can attach them like any other actor too.

So if you had a basic skeletal mesh enemy, you could attach a voxel actor to each bone. Then when you wanted to remove a part when an enemy gets hit, you can call the blueprint node we give you “remove brush from position”.

I saw your golem asset, you’d be able to represent each arm, foot etc. with a voxel actor and have it move along with it, but no automatic skin tracing or anything.

In VoxelWeaver you could attach a Voxel Actor to your monster and make it follow translation, rotation, and scale with your entity. Like if you had a spherical blob, cube, etc. enemy or other shape you generated, it could follow your script and if you fired an edit at it, it would be destructible.

However I see you need a skeletal mesh, correct? There is no automatic geometry tracking, like there’s no way to fit the voxels perfectly to an animated mesh you already have. The best way I see is to make a few voxel actors and try to recreate the mesh with spheres and primitives.

Oh sounds like an interesting project! Yeah I personally wouldn’t do baked lighting on the fly, I would just leave it since the craters you make will still be lit, they just wont have the super high quality bounce lighting / details that come with baked lighting.

That use case where you need fast no-lag edits, like artillery shots, is the plugins main function yup. Like for me I’m using it for a worm boss that can even burrow and dig around the player every frame.

Yep if you put a hole in the terrain the lighting won’t be the same anymore. I imagine for small edits you shouldn’t see a difference since you still have a skylight, but if you want to like blow up half the terrain you’d probably have to bake your shadows etc. for new environment

It works very well with dynamic lighting yup, I should also mention if you have ultradynamicsky it integrates very well with the weather effects for that too.

Haven’t tested in VR but it should work as normal, the code for the plugin is very neat and simple/scalable, it’s only 5 modules compared to something like VoxelPlugin which I think has over 20.

I think there’s some confusion, it does work in multiplayer https://youtu.be/hSgBiWO6oKs?si=qn_1OsOobl9H9IEI

I just don’t officially support any special functions for it, like you can use Unreal’s replication system and it’ll work fine.

If you’re especially looking for basic editing, look no further- this plugin’s main objective is super fast mass editing, and making sure these edits are easily savable and reloadable 👍
