However it remains as a vertex attribute and you might want to promote them to point attribute depending on what you want to do. The plugin renames these to ‘q_wind’ and ‘q_offset’ vertex attributes in Houdini since I didn't want it to use the Cd attribute. Ability to paint decals onto custom mesh. This should now work I am not 100% sure how they do it in Unreal plugin but the Quixel Assets comes with Vertex Color information where R is a mask for wind effects and G is meant to be used to offset the wind. A rare case when a scatter object consisted of several source files instead of one with several items with in it, would set the display flags wrong for Octanes ‘hide object in render’ parameter.The Octane ‘Hide object’ parameter to fix scattering didn’t work correctly for none scatter objects that had multiple objects.The Display flag for the objects created inside the “SOURCE” Subnets are now turned off.Exporting Atlases such as leaves with opacity would crash the exporter when exported materials had opacity and was exported for Arnold.Arnold default material added to instance sphere and grid so they can receive shadows.Arnold Instances changed to ‘Fast Point Instancing’ so they cast shadows.a “UI UpScale” options was added in the new settings window.

Octane Scattering had broken, should now work again.Redshift TriPlanar Quixel HDA input pins now work as expected.Here you will see the (few) available Brush Presets and you have some settings available for the brushes. This way the Brush Settings will become visible on the left side. Arnold and Octane HDAs have been updated to output fallback values when no textures are assigned, which should result in some materials looking better now. In Quixel Mixer, you will need to create a new project or open an existing one.TX generation has been changed to ON by default. Arnold Warning for No extension for filename “” have been fixed.The “Use EXR Displacement” toggle on all the HDAs have been removed, it now happens at export time instead.Export for PNG / TGA / TIFF file formats should now work better.
