New Unreal 5.1.0 update integrating some user requested features and Quality of Life (QoL) improvements.

New features - Improvements

• Add easier access to trilinear sampling option from the editor
• Add QoL console variables to work with movie render queue (and more).

  • Add console variable to enable trilinear sampling on all VDBs. Helpful during movie renders, while keeping better performances in viewport preview.

  • If working with heavy VDBs for offline rendering, use lower settings for viewport visualization and easily crank up settings during movie rendering

• Add option to render VdbMaterialActors after transparents (default is before transparents)
• Add option to replace physically based blackbody temperature-to-color with user-defined color ramps (aka color curves / color atlases)
• Add editor render target and post-process materials to allow VDB Arbitrary Output Values (AOVs) with Movie Render Queue.
• Updated example levels to reflect recent changes (available with the xxx_with_data.zip package)

Bug fixes

• Fix render target format issue with VdbPrincipledActors that used to clamp HDR color values.
