NVidia HairWorks

Hi,

i'm actually discovering Hairworks from NVidia, wich is awesome and pretty simple to setup,
but,

is there or will be a way to use it with Unty3D 4 or 5 ?

 

Would be nice to see it as a plugin i the assetstore.

 

Same... After modeling hair using polygons... I would SO welcome this... and it would be quick to setup

 

Sounds good to me too and after playing the Witcher 3 yesterday on release date, I am convinced

Here is the video for furry animals & human hair using the system from Nvidia's Youtube channel.

 

Don't know if I'm really helping since I don't fully understand it but I found this post :
https://developer.nvidia.com/content/gameworks-unity
It may be of some help to get Hairworks to work in unity.

 

That page only descibes the function of the HBAO+ plugin for unity.
The other parts of the gameworks program do not have a unity plugin(so far).

 

For anyone who stumbles across this check out my thread:

http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/hairworks-port-for-unity.366634/

contains links to a HairWorks port for Unity and a Blender Addon to export Blender hair for HairWorks.

 

hello, i have a problem using the API, not generating the effect of hair, I also the variables id shader, asset id and instance id show a null not know if this is normal? , any suggestions?

Here is another link to nvidias website for hairworks developers with download -
https://developer.nvidia.com/hairworks

And here is a GIT project that has a script and download to integrate the hairworks sdk for unity -
https://github.com/unity3d-jp/NVIDIAHairWorksIntegration

 

This is awesome... the only problem is, I use Modo so I can't generate the hair fibers that are needed...

 

I have a buggy Blender exporter that's for free. Might be useful to you but it's still in early development. Link in my signature. Also, I have a fork of Unity Japan's hairworks integration with a bunch of added features that they haven't gotten too yet and a thread about it. Also all in my signature.

 

It would be nice to have hairworks or tress fx in unity (i am the only one who can't start tressfx 2.2 demo app? Hairworks viewer is running perfectly on my lenovo y510p) i dont know which one is better but i think it would be a great additon

 

You need a 3d app to generate the guide fibers.

 

The viewer from amd is not working on my pc i dont know why it looks like it working in background but i cant open the application, and for export im using theprotonfactor exporter for blender, cause i dont know if there is a exporter for Tressfx.

 

I think there's a tressfx exporter for maya...I'm not sure. There isn't one for Blender, but if the file it needs isn't too different to HairWorks apx then I'll probably make one for it too . In terms of which one is better, I think it'll be down to which yields better performance. For me they both look pretty good, but I lean HairWorks because Nvidia are pretty much the leaders of all things physics related in gaming at the moment.

 

The worse thing with them (Hairworks & TressFX) is that there is only few titles using those technologies and they are hard to compare i think only TR and Witcher can be compare (both of them are 3rd person) and i think TR has a little better performance on my PC, but this game is 2 years older than Witcher so it's hard to compare them, maybe im wrong, but im not a programmer Guru and it's only my personal opinion

 

when it is integrated?
