This is what 2000s gaming was largely about, one of the many reasons that decade produced superior games.

They're worried about making things shiny

@@boredgunner It started out that way, then nvidia bought Ageia and locked out Physx to GPU acceleration on nvidia only and removed optimizations for CPU so you had to own nvidia cards or suffer poor frame rates or no physics simulation.

@@OniMirage Not really, PhysX was one of many solutions. Havok enjoyed its prime during this time, Source engine was pushing the boundaries as were games like F.E.A.R. and Crysis. Pretty much all the games that best use physics to enhance gameplay were in the 2000s and didn't even need PhysX. Although today we have open source DirectCompute PhysX, so I wish it would be used more.

add AI to that. Would be fun to have genuinely smarter AI instead of giving it ''cheats'' to increase difficulty of games.

I'd wager a lot of this relates to how CPU performance has plateaued while GPUs have become radically more powerful.

@@TomShannon3D exactly my thought at first

@@TomShannon3D You can do physics on the GPU (i.e Nvidia PhysX and Nvidia FleX)

Console cpu was awfully underpowered and intel was stuck in 4 cores config, now it's different with the astronomical core counts from amd ryzen

@@prithvib8662 I don't think you fully understand the complexities involved in FEM.

It has been released.

@@OniMirage el chiste seria que aparezca en la unreal marketplace y que sea facil de implementar, ya que implementarlo de la forma actual es solo para gente con conocimientos avanzados que no son muchos, y además está desactualizado, tanto han invertido en desarrollar FEMFX para que nadie lo use porque no quisieron ponerlo en unreal marketplace... lo mismo con nvidia flex, y si nvidia no hubiese invertido tanto en dlss como para que si o si valga la pena, no habrian puesto dlss en la unreal marketplace, pero ahora mismo les conviene que muchos mas juegos tengan dlss, pero si te fijas el resto de tecnologias tanto de amd como de nvidia no aparecen en la unreal marketplace, y el metodo de instalación casi siempre es un lio, no he podido instalar amd tressfx que teoricamente es "very easy" la instalación, pero me quedo estancado en el paso 2, no puedo ejecutar ese comando, simplemente me sale que no es un directorio de git, y no te explica precisamente como hacerlo, por si alguien que no sabe (el 90% de los que utilizan UE4) quiere implementar una tecnologia a su juego, tu sabes instalar plugins? porque yo he buscado en internet y no me aparece, si lo sabes podrias hacer tutoriales así la gente puede implementar estas tecnologias a su juego

This is runs entirely on the cpu. Head over to github.com/GPUOpen-Effects/FEMFX for more info

It's CPU based, something Nvidia fucked everyone over on back in 2008 when they bought Ageia. Here is the link for the UE plugin github.com /GPUOpenSoftware/UnrealEngine/tree/FEMFX-4.18

@@OniMirage Thanks :) But I think they nuked the Page ?. GETTING 404 error page not found :(

@@Max24871 Thanks but Im after the UE4 version. This looks like the Houdini version

There's a GitHub link for the UE4 plugin at the end of this article: gpuopen.com/gaming-product/femfx/

We might be able too, yes. Since this is opensource, it should be able to implement in next gen console. Especially since the are both using AMD.

It's cpu driven so as long as the cpu on the next gen of consoles can handle it, I see no reason why we won't see this and infact, I suspect this is designed around making good use of the extra cores PC gamers have and the next gen of consoles will likely have so and the first thing I thought about when I heard of this is that it's designed for next gen gaming on PC and next gen consoles as it's perfect for making good use of thoes extra Ryzen cores and might even kill off Nvidia Physx

Thank you for the informative replies! I’m so freakin’ hyped now. 😬

@@mgsv5297 These next gen consoles are going to be pretty amazing.

@@dondraper4438 As a PC gamer, I'm hyped for all this because unlike the last gen which was more or less a visual boost, it didn't really add much to PC gaming, this new gen could be quite different as they'll have far better cpu power which will allow developers to go crazy with how they can design games, then there is the M2/SSD drive which because of the speed of them could allow contents to stream in and out of memory at a rapid speed which again could change how games are designed, then we have ray tracing and the rest of the hardware. All in all, I see this being a much bigger upgrade for PC and console gamers then we saw with the last gen and this news of this new physics engine perfectly fits the timing for the new gen of consoles, I also really hope we see better A.I. with games but I might be asking a bit too much there as developers prefer to take the easy option.

It's probably the same issue they had with mesh editing where another company owns the underlying tech so they aren't allowed to implement their own version without paying them anyway so they might as well just partner up.

Because Houdini has been in development for a long time, and it is extremely tricked out for procedural modelling workflows of the kind that would apply well to games authoring. Having said that, the company SideFX that owns Houdini aren't so big that Epic/Tencent couldn't buy them I think - their acquisition of Shave and Haircut makes me think they may be on the verge of a M&A spree, like Autodesk did years ago.

Game engines just aren't designed to do that and UE4 is no exception. It does not have the capability to created brand new mesh assets from scratch. Given the nature of these files, Houdini was a great choice because of it's excellent procedural tools.

you're already lucky they didnt use maya

GTA XVI is more likely

What about this physics compare to Unreal it look like old game physics, watch this : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jcmPhKZjmrixZGg.html

@@FantasyNero You clearly don't know anything. That's pretty impressed voxel based physics, but nothing like FEM demonstrated above.

@@sean8102 Woah thanks! Strange that there are no youtubers showcasing it, like there are for flex.

The problem is modelling the materials themselves on a small scale doesn't necessarily take into account the effect of their stability on a larger scale - it's entirely possible that the math exists but is less feasible to optimise effectively for real time, which is what they are going for here.

@@mnomadvfx Or it's just a demo made quick enough for a 20 second clip.

es verdad, yo he tratado de implementar muchos plugins, pero siempre es lo mismo, encima en GPUOpen tienen el descaro de decir que la instalación de algunos plugins es "very easy" cuando no existe ningun tutorial y los 3 pasos que te ponen no son suficientes para entender claramente como instalar un plugin
