Hello! How do I use Displacement in ue4? I found this guide (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-hM0hPOzz0), but I don't have the "Convert Displacement" option in the plugin setup. And connecting the displacement texture in octane instance does not give results.... :(

Update your version of Octane.

I have the latest version. Downloaded the official plugin with the update from 2019-09-26. In UE4, I have the 0.24 BETA version of the plugin.

Displacement is partially supported, and subject to limitations. Because of this it is optional. You can turn it on in the plugin settings:

If you cant find this setting, upgrade to the latest version:

You guys know just because it doesn't automatically do the displacement for you that, you can still adjust it in the Octane Material. To do a fresh install of the plugin, best practice is to delete, octane plugin in the the Unreal engine folder under plugins, launch unreal without it, reinstall, and you'll be good.
