UE4 VR Game Templates

Thanks for this. I think that convinces me to try out UE4. I was kind of bummed out when my Unity trial expired before I could finish my project.

This is a big help. Thanks!!!! :)

Thanks for the link.
I am currently getting used to the UE4. I did not put any effort in optimizing for the rift so far, because i dont have a DK yet. So this might speed things up for me.

New GitHub repos!

In case anyone didn't click through to the unreal forum.
Just for ease of access, Here is his youtube page with the tutorials he has posted.

Though there is plenty of good info on the unreal forum, obviously. So don't miss that.

Thank you so much for doing this.

VERY much appreciated.

Great. Thanks.

Great! Starter kit for UE4. Thanks! :)

Thank you so much for these. :)

I compiled 4.3 yesterday and I'm pretty sure the normal templates are broken. Something about EngineMinimal.h not existing. Even if they weren't broken it sounds like there'd be a lot of work just to get to a basic starting point.

Now I just need to figure out how to get the Oculus plugin working.

Edit: Just found this... looks possibly helpful? https://wiki.unrealengine.com/Oculus_Rift

EDIT: Finally got these working, but framerate is pretty bad. Question with probably an obvious answer: do my build settings (Development vs Shipping) affect performance?

EDIT: Apparently I was using SDK 0.3.x. With a properly compiled 0.4.1 engine, things seem a little better.

Templates based on the new UE 4.4.1 version (Oculus 0.4.1 SDK) are out!

OK now that 4.4.1 is officially released here are the updates:

https://github.com/mitchemmc/UE4SpaceShooterVRTemplate/releases
Current bugs that I'm aware of are
1. I kept distortion scale as an option in the menu but It will do nothing for now
2. changing the screen percentage when in direct mode causes the display to lock up and freeze.
3. the FPS in the menu is not accurate
If anyone finds any other glaringly obvious bugs let me know, I suspect there will be some. thanks Mitch. Oh and I'll get around to making a video tomorrow but I think this is me done for tonight.
