I just wanted to check, this plugin only allows us to use Octane Render in the Editor, we can't package a game using Octane, correct?

Correct, the plugin is editor only at the moment.
But we are looking into lightbaking/materialbaking features that can be used in packaged form.

What is it that you would like to do with octane packaged into a game?

We are currently building VR (Oculus Quest) Walkthoughs for our clients. So it's all baked lighting for the most part which would be great to be able to preview the design in Cinema 4D and orbx-it right into Unreal.

For the lightbaking, you don't need Octane to packaged.
If you want to light bake right now you can download the Luoshuang's GPULightmass for Unreal or use Vray lightbaking also. For both keep your light maps under 1024 and you'll be good. They are memory limited. Your using a quest, so 512x512 or less. Vray is faster but Luoshuang's is free.

Hi~ The position of cinecamera is fixed, even if I already made some keyframes and play the sequencer.

Having the same problem like "HRHBG" , that keyframed camera animation in sequencer doesn't render the cam animation with Octane 0.27 and 0.28.
With 0.26 it works.

I just used the plugin recently,As I know it now the plugin does not support engine particle and terrain systems .so I want to know will plugins be supported later?

Landscape/Terrain is in the works. We are looking into particles.

How the VDB animations play or render with sequencer in UE4?
