Does anyone know if the Orbx file format comes into Unreal engine...is there another way? It seems I saw something a while back about some sort of joining together or something of Unreal and Octane to some level.... Thanks!

Guess when OTOY is going to integrate OctaneRender into UnrealEngine, it will be able to read .orbx files too =) but for now there wasn't any official statement on that as far as I know =)

We have a new developer who will be taking over the UE4 plug-in shortly, and will be integrating the Octane 3 functionality (i.e. baking) within the integrated plug-in. The idea is you can easily load an ORBX scene from Octane into UE4, with Octane handling light probes, baking and more, either live or offline.
