Octane 2026.2 for Unreal Engine - 0.88
Posted: Fri Feb 27, 2026 10:50 am
Hi all
Hi all this build adds experimental Meshlet and Virtual Texturing support.
The settings for these features are in the plugin settings. (Easy access in the dropdown menu: Octane -> Plugin Settings)
When set to manual (which is default), you can rightclick StaticMeshes and Textures assets in the content browser and
turn them on by going to the Octane section. (This is similar to how nanite is turned on for meshes)
Note that you need to reload the virtual assets in octane in order for settings changes to take affect.
Note: There are currently stability issues with both Virtual Texturing and Meshlets. When encountering render failures it is adviced to turn virtual settings off
