Oculus-ready UDK Now Available!

Ghostship, can you send us a repro case to support@oculus.com (put "for artyom17" in the subj)? I'll try to fix it asap, but first I need to reproduce the issue...

Artyom17, I will get a repro case sorted and sent tonight. Thanks :)

Great, will appreciate this. I think, I already can see that RenderToTexture is broken (there is a standard QA map in UE3). There are two issues with it:
1) It depends on 'screenpercentage', the green border does not exist if screenpercentage == 100
2) HMD distortion is applied to the render to texture target (shouldn't).

I still would like to get your repro case just to make sure we are on the same page.

I thought it was down to to the render to texture, i just emailed you a test map for the build with it set up with the render to texture. In normal mode its fine, in the rift its broken.

I Look forward to getting it sorted out and least sort the problem out for future use of the render to texture for other developers. Thanks :)

Screen percentage at 100 fixed it, mine was 150. :)

Well, I tried your sample with screen percentage > 100, but it still works ok to me in Rift. Can you verify that the map you sent us is really the one that breaks with screen percentage > 100?

I Tried the test one again in 100, and the texture is not present for the map on the screen, just the red screen background. In the editor it is fine, but using pie or the rift does not show the map texture at all.

this is strange, because setting 100 has fixed my maps green border as mentioned in the email. That is the most crucial part on my end, but as the basic test of rendering a texture to a mesh is having problems for some reason. This was just a quick reproduction of a render texture camera displayed on a map on a mesh.

I find that the frontend application packaged with this release wont deploy to iOS devices. What gives? Are other people experiencing this?

Also, all the bottoms in the viewport related to ios deployment are gone.

Release Candidate 2 is available:

Artyom17, I'm just wondering what your opinion is regarding something Palmer said on Facebook recently;

Palmer Luckey: If you plan on making games for the Rift, start learning Unity. It is probably the best/easiest option right now.

With the new build of UDK I have hopes that things are on the right path. I recently read on the Epic forums from a guy going by the name Cube2222, that "All assets will be reusable", he was speaking of UE4. This would be a big win. http://forums.epicgames.com/threads/970073-UNREAL-ENGINE-4-FAQ-Read-this-before-asking

All-in-all I want to think that developing with UDK is "a" right choice, but your founder who is on the inside seems to have doubts himself. It is not the cost of Unity that keeps me away, it is what I've seen in the Infiltrator and other demos regarding the scope of environmental complexity and realism that nearly demands that I build with UDK3 and ultimately UDK4. But if inside knowledge points to Unity being the best path, I feel I have to make the shift.

Man the contortions of a new industry giving birth are a bitch.
