Hey,

No, I wasn't able too. This was created during my Bachelors degree for my uni course. I did attempt to, however I came into the issue where Unreal Engine's TOctree data structure was static and wouldn't update unless the structure was destroyed and recreated. My findings are highlighted in the Technical Report, under section 4 - Implementing the TOctree.

In section 8 - Further Improvements, I have added that a custom octree could be created, but that was not possible in the timeframe for the university project.
