HI

Do you have an estimation when an UE 4.24 version will be available?

Working on it. Hopefully before the end of this year.

Thanks for your hard work, and being active on the Forum also. I don't know how many people are working on it, but trying to keep up with Unreal and the constant updates every quarter is an insane task.

Hello Chris

Thanks for the new features. I'm very excited with all new things and things to come.

Question. Is it posible to get the render image from a render target as an UE4 image map or texture, so that I can see dynamically updating the render of the baking camera, the idea is to create a UE4 material with that texture (the render of the baking camera)

I can bake a whole scene in a single texture, but it would be perfect if I change the ORBX Scene light interacting in real time, for example (I mean the ORBX scene for UE4), it update the baking so that I bake the UE4 scene in realtime. What I change in the Octane Zone, affect in the UE4 zone.

To get there, I need the render target image to apear as UE4 Texture or RGB Image.

Is it possible to do that?

This very good for updating lights in virtual production, for example, I can see dynamically the progress in the Previs UE4 part, but with the baking of Octane Render.

Thanks for all.
