Thu. March 9, 2023
19.0.896

(UE5) Fixed regression that caused Foliage Types to be instantiated as meshes if the "unreal_foliage" attribute wasn't set.

Thu. February 16, 2023
19.0.895

(UE5) Fixed incorrect instances transforms when using Foliage. (either by instancing FoliageTypes or by using the unreal_foliage attribute).

19.0.895

Added a new export option to inputs "Export Material Parameters" When disabled, the plugin will not be sending each material parameters in the input object's materials as attributes. This can be very useful at reducing cook times when sending big mesh, with materials that has a lot of exposed parameters.

Wed. February 15, 2023

  • Fixed potential ensure failure / crash with the PDG Asset Link when baking to Actors.
  • merged PR#221 from @yuhe00:Fix compilation error when building for Android platform with clang 14.0.

Tue. January 17, 2023
19.0.857

Fixed an issue where importing meshes could create empty mesh sections.

Mon. January 9, 2023
19.0.855

Fixed stale instancer output data not being properly cleaned up upon cooking. This issue could cause level data to bloat unnecessarily.

Fixes: #124444

Fri. January 6, 2023
19.0.852
  • Added support for specifying the material slot when using the unreal_material attributewith point instancers (unreal_instance). You can specify the material slot to override byadding its slot number to the attribute name: unreal_materialX.
  • When importing meshes to Houdini, we prefix the unreal_material attribute string with thematerial slot index if the mesh uses more than one materials.This prevents the plugin from merging material slots that uses the same material.
  • Imported material parameters now also add their material slot number to the attribute name(unreal_material_X_PARAM_NAM). This prevents overwriting values when separate materials usea material parameter with the same name.
