Octane for Unreal Engine

*5.1 Preview 2 build has been updated and replaced with a build for the latest UE 5.1

Changes:

Unreal 5.1 Preview 2
Installer: Changed install location to Engine/Plugins/Marketplace. This solves a compiler error issue for projects that use octane plugin
Lights: Added lightfunction support
ORBX Importing: Greatly improved Octane to Unreal material conversion:
- Improved conversion for constant value nodes (float, int, rgb, grayscale etc)
- Fixed issue where certain octane materials mixed up the correct unreal inputs for texture node graphs
- Added support for octane color correction node conversion
ORBX Importing: improved material - mesh connections
ORBX Importing: Scatter nodes with one transform are now converted to staticmeshcomponents
Textures: Improved loading speeds for most textures
Textures: Improved memory footprint for most textures
Lights: Added IES support to point and rect lights (spotlights already had them)
Lights: Lightfunctions and IES now works together
ORBX export: Added blueprint function that exports the current scene to ORBX. name is: ExportToORBX
Improved the naming for generated nodes in the octane scene graph

Fixes:

Geometry: Fixed possible crash that happened with nanite meshes that have incorrect material indexes
Geometry: Better base material slot names
Rendertargets: Rendertargets are now connected to the scene by default - improving scene exports
Build: Improved build files (should not impact anything)
ORBX Importing: Fixed a couple of crashes related to empty material nodes and scatter nodes
Textures: Fixed couple of minor UDIM issues
Textures: Added alpha channel for HDR UDIMs
Textures: Fixed a UDIM resize crash
Sequencer: Fixed issue with octane node sequencer tracks for RGB color pins
Logging: Added various more logging for warnings and errors
Octane is no longer updated when dragging objects in the unreal viewport (solves various stuttering and performance issues)
ORBX Component: Improved GetParameterNode with fail and succes exec pins

Does it always crash on 5.1? Or specific scenes? I could not find the crash you are talking about.

Metahumans are not fully supported at the moment, and various materials might end up black.
