OTOY Forums

Hi, there are no Object layer options on geo that import straight into Octane standalone. I can't assign render layers to any geo or set other layer properties because of this. Same goes for alembic caches that we import into Unreal, we can't add the octane properties to these type of geo.

You can add an Objectlayercomponent to a StaticMeshComponent as a child component in your unreal level.
The objectlayer options should then be applied and be exported out from unreal to octane standalone.

Do you mean geometry cache? I just checked and it seems GeometryCacheComponents do not support ObjectlayerComponents yet.
I have added Objectlayercomponent support to GeometryCacheComponent, and it will be part of the next build

Thank you!

Has there been any updates to this issue? I recently tried importing objects as either alembic or C4D with geometry cache into UE 5.3 and it seems anything with geocache does not render in the Octane plugin.
