This is great. It’s impressive that we didn’t have to do any work to make this happen.
Starting today, four more Xbox One Backward Compatibility titles will be enhanced for Xbox One X. Enjoy playing Half-Life 2: The Orange Box, Portal: Still Alive, Left 4 Dead, and Left 4 Dead 2 with enhanced visuals and higher resolutions on Xbox One X mjr.mn/NFWJ

And here ya go - Runtime translation of #SteamVR's #Knuckles skeletal #animation to #UE4's stock hand skeleton via #Livelink!
It was a relatively painless retargetting except for the thumbwork. That was a bit tricky.
Joe van den Heuvel retweeted
Testing Controller context of Skeletal data output from @steam_games #Valve #Knuckles in @UnrealEngine - bone transforms were automatically generated from the C++ api and fed into a custom #UE4 #animation #blueprint.
#LightweaVR #VR #UE4
