Octane for Unreal Engine 0.42
Changes:

• Updated to Octane 2020.2.3
• Added MediaTexture support.
  *Only ImgMedia works in the sequencer, FileMedia desyncs when not rendering in realtime due to a known bug in the Unreal decoder.
• Pointlights now use Octane built-in pointlights.
• Added Dynamic2d texture support.
• Moved plugin updating to the end of the unreal frame, should be faster and more accurate when converting the scene.

Fixes:

• Reworked spotlights
• Exit Crash has been fixed
• Fixed issue where dragging new objects into the scene will trigger plugin updates
• Fixed material conversion issue with float4 min/max functions
• Removed unnessesary error/warning log messages
• Fixed issue where rendertarget would not get automatically created when starting octane
• Fixed issue where the camera would think it has changed, when it didnt

*Displacement has been turned off completely for now. Will re-enable when bug has been fixed in the next Octane build

Thanks sir,

Thanks for the update, looking forward to give it a shot!

Hi, Is it possible to use a media texture that has an alpha channel?
I'm looking to place pre-keyed actors into a scene so have an exr sequence and alpha channel.

So far the background is just showing up black. Can anybody help?

I have added alpha for media textures to the next build. Thanks for pointing this out.
