Octane Materials not showing in Unreal Engine 5.1 Import.

Hi,
I'm having major difficulties trying to get Octane materials to import from C4D into Unreal Engine 5.1.

I save the project for Cineware in C4D, import into Unreal via Datasmith, but no materials are included just the geometry and a single flat material. There are 37 Octane materials. I have exported the materials from the localdb as ORBX files as I read somewhere that may help, but they are empty when I get them into Unreal.
Can someone point me in the direction of a tutorial or something so I can do this? I'm really new to Octane, C4D and Unreal and just want to get creative.
Many thanks
