Alpha2 - update

The plug-in is now linked to Houdini 18.0.460 / HAPI 3.3.5.
Windows binaries are available for both UE4.25 and UE4.24.

New features:

  • Added support for creating foliage instances directly without baking.
    This requires having the "unreal_foliage" primitive/detail integer attribute on the instancer, with its value set to 1.
  • Added support for Button Strip parameters.
  • Improved Instancer Output UI:
    • Instancer now display their custom mesh/part name if available.
    • Instancer now display their instancer type.
    • Instanced Meshes now also indicate that they are instanced.
    • "One-instance instancers" that just create a single Static Mesh Component only show their mesh output UI and not the instancer UI.
  • Added: Curve Input: Auto-update checkbox to enable/disable cook when modifying the input curve.
  • Added default values to parameters/revert to default support per parameter.
    The "Revert" arrow and "Reset Parameters" buttons are now only enabled/visible when there are non-default parameters.
  • Added support for baking Instanced Actors Components to Actors.
  • Added support for baking Mesh Split Instancer Components to Actors.
  • Added support for baking single-instance instancers (SMC) to Actors.

Bug fixes:

  • Fixed Game build errors.
  • Fixed clang compiler issues (Issue #10)
  • Fixed issue when reverting MultiParams and Ramps to default.
  • Landscape Outputs are now properly detached and destroyed when destroying the HoudiniAssetComponent.
  • Moving a Float/Int parameter slider continuously triggering recooks.
  • Custom part/mesh names were not properly read when using the legacy v1 attribute "unreal_generated_mesh_name".
    They were only read when using the v2 attribute, "unreal_output_name".
  • Fixed crash when changing instance variations on Houdini Assets Components that were loaded / not instantiated yet.
  • World Input, "Clear Selection" and changing Mode didn't remove the previous selection.
  • Possible infinite loop when duplicating a curve point on its original location.
  • Disabled curve modifications when the HDA is being cooked.
  • Asset input: when multi-selecting, the browser UI lets the user pick one of the selected Houdini Asset Actors.
  • Color ramp parameter: handle bounces back after being moved when auto-update is unchecked.
  • Editable curve outputs lost after duplicating the Houdini Asset Actor.
  • Fixed multiple asset parameter changes don't always trigger a recook.
  • Fixed typo: bake -> "outlinear"
  • Fixed Alpha being ignored for ColorAndAlpha parameters.
  • Fixed: unnecessary re-cooks when resetting parameters.
  • Fixed baking Instanced Static Mesh Components / Hierarchical ISMC to Actors.
  • Fixed baking to Foliage always baking the instanced mesh even if it wasn't a temporary SM.

(note, the 4.24 zip has been updated to Alpha2.1 due to a missing backport)
