Octane 2021.1 for Unreal Engine - 0.48: Niagara

[ChrisHekman]

Octane for Unreal Engine 0.48
Changes:

• Support for Niagara MeshRenderer for particles
  *Sprite and other types will be added later
• Added Octane 2022.XB.0 Enterprise support (See experimental build below)
• Split the Updateflags into "enabled" and update" in the octane viewport
  • Turning off "Enabled" will stop the plugin from tracking the object type
  • Turning off "Update" will stop the plugin from updating the object type
  • Sequencer Protocols will ignore the update flags, and will update all enabled types
• Added a "force update" button to the octane viewport. This will update objects regardless of "update flag" status. (useful for niagara particles)
  • "Force update" updates the game time in material shaders
• Lights: "Visible in specular" is now turned off when specular scaling is close to 0 in unreal
• Lights: Improved conversion of points that do not use inverse square law

Fixes:

• Fixed space conversion transform issues in material conversion
• Improved transforms to and from tangent space in material shaders
• Fixed broken tangents and vertex colors in materials
• Reduced generated OSL be removing unnecessarily included code
• Octane nodes names in the OctaneGui now better reflect unreal names
