Octane for Unreal Engine 0.24
Changes:

• Upgraded to Octane 2019.1 Stable
• Added new OctaneObjectLayerComponent that can be allows the user to set octane ObjectLayer settings for converted unreal components.
  Works on StaticMeshComponent, LightComponent, USkinnedMeshComponent, UInstancedStaticMeshComponent
• It is now possible to extract rendertargets from ORBX proxy components and turn them into OctaneRenderTargetActors.
• OctaneRenderTargetActor is now blueprintable and Render can be called from blueprints
• Added blueprint support for OctaneObjectLayerComponents
• PerIinstanceRandom is now partially supported. (Does not use a random seed)
• Added Subsurface/Transmission to foliage materials

Fixes:

• Octane Sequencer now consistently denoises frames
• Fixed a crash caused by virtual textures
• Added error popups to Octane Sequencer for when Octane is not active, there is no active rendertarget, or there is no camera or film node on the rendertarget.
• LUT files are now correctly applied when loading a scene
• Fixed IES light crash that happend when reloading the same scene
• Fixed an exit crash
• Octane nodes generated during unreal conversion, now have better naming reflecting where they came from in unreal.

i get a weird double geometry phenomena in octane. So i have two variants lets say the steering wheel. The geometry looks almost the same and the objects sitting on the exact same postion. My Variant Manger sets one of these to "visible off" under the rendering section on the static mesh settings. It disappears in the viewport and in the octane renderview but now it causes ugly double geo effects...like its casting shadows and so on... any ideas? Once i switch off the "eye" in the world outliner its fine...but thats not the solution.

thanks

The component visibility is linked to the ObjectLayer camera visibility, which means the geometry is invisible to the camera, but still casts shadows.
This is not the same behaviour as unreal, so i have changed it to match unreal.
The change should be in the next build.

thanks for the quick reply.

waiting for a new release than
