Unity is getting a VRWorks plugin!

Where is this from?

 

Oculus Connect 3

Accelerating Your VR Applications with NVIDIA VRWorks

 

Did they say anything more on how it works?
Any plan for deferred mode?

 

I begged people to record it for me but this is all I could scrape up. (pics via SVVR http://imgur.com/a/d3lXG )

 

We will have to wait until the video comes online. I think it took a couple of months last year

 

Unity announced back in March that it was getting VRWorks support, they just never mentioned it again. What scares me is that slide saying what parts of VR Works the Unity Plugin is getting - and that VR SLI isn't on there.

 

videos are up

 

Did not say much, but "soon" is good

Any guess how that plugin would work? Show up as a separate "Forward VRWorks" render pipeline in the camera?

 

Watching the video, it's clear Unity isn't getting VR SLI. Huge bummer. As for "soon", how soon can it really be when it's not on Unity's roadmap at all?

 

he said "initial release" features ..suggesting it may still be coming

and I think Nvidia is making the plugin ..so it wouldn't be on Unity's roadmap?

 

Back at GDC 7 months ago, Unity and nVidia announced that direct support for VRWorks would be built into Unity, that says it's a lot more than just a plugin, but something Unity would do.

 

Anyone at Unite LA ? There is a session tomorrow about the VRWorks Unity plugin

 

Some info here, with custom unity build available:

Good news!

BS- no vrworks for unity, only talk, no action....

 

There it is: https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/83505
Unforunatly many rendering restriction with image effects and on top only usable with Unity 2017 beta .

 

Info about VR SLI:
In this moment (16.5.2017) VR SLI working with 2-way SLI only. Our testing PC (in my full time job): 4-way SLI (set correctly in Windows Nvidia control panel) 4xGTX 1080 Ti, Unity beta 2017 0b4 + NVIDIA VRWorks 1.0 from asset store.

NVIDIA wrote: "..Plugin's have limited functionality so at the moment 4 way SLI support is not possible without Unity making required changes in their core engine."
