Introducing the Aximmetry DE and SE product lines
Aximmetry DE, where DE stands for Dual Engine. Besides Aximmetry’s native render engine, the DE editions also provide Unreal Engine support.
Aximmetry SE, where SE stands for Single Engine which is Aximmetry’s native render engine.
AXIMMETRY DE
Aximmetry DE is a combination of Aximmetry and our customized version of Unreal Engine called Unreal Editor for Aximmetry. Aximmetry DE lets you create your virtual studios in Unreal Editor and use them in Aximmetry to benefit both from the world-building and rendering features of UE and the advanced virtual studio capabilities of Aximmetry. Unreal scenes from the marketplace and scenes created by you in Unreal Editor can instantly be used in Aximmetry DE.
Aximmetry Technologies is committed to integrating the latest Unreal Engine versions which are production-ready. Our policy is to hold off integration until after the first patches of the official version are released. Please always check our Version History for updates on the new Aximmetry software versions.
The advantages of using Aximmetry DE over vanilla Unreal Engine in a studio environment
-
Aximmetry is a “studio glue”, a useful middleware for easy
interfacing of a multitude of hardware used in a broadcast/film production environment. For example
various input and output possibilities and tracking systems. It encourages the most logical workflow in
Virtual Production. Using Aximmetry's advanced compositing technologies, both engines can work in
conjunction.
- Unreal Scene rendering by Unreal Engine in the background, while other functionalities - like keying, compositing or adding overlay graphics - are done by Aximmetry's native engine.
- Using both engines simultaneously, for example adding AR elements.
- The very same Aximmetry software licenses can be used for green screen production, AR, and XR.
-
Aximmetry offers a full XR feature set:
- Intuitive setup of the workflow with LED screens
- Accurate set extension
- Instinctive tools for color calibration of LED Walls
- Presets for extending your LED virtual production with AR elements
- Several tools for working with large-scale LED walls such as easy slicing up of LED walls when a large contiguous LED surface has to be driven by multiple machines, and many more.
- Aximmetry software offers superior quality live compositing that includes light wrap, customizable reflections and shadows of the talent, visual interactions of virtual and real elements.
- The advanced, award-winning Aximmetry Chroma Keyer is included in all editions. Aximmetry’s 3D Cleanplate feature guarantees perfect keying even when using a moving camera and large green screens.
- All Aximmetry software editions contain our user-friendly Aximmetry Calibrator that reduces the tedious job of calibrating your lenses and cameras to a child's play.
- Aximmetry ensures user-friendly control of virtual cameras.
- It makes placing talents in the virtual environment quick and easy.
- Its flexible node-based scripting tools ensure that users maintain full control of the production.
- It has a large amount of user-friendly tools for realtime pre- and post-processing of the rendered image to complete the entire studio workflow.
- Aximmetry's native 3D engine helps with the easy creation of additional 3D graphics on top of UE projects, or it can also be used on its own.
- Using Aximmetry also makes it possible to add complex 2D graphics and text.
- And while you can benefit from all the above, the full Unreal Engine feature set is available including the use of UE plugins.
AXIMMETRY SE
Aximmetry SE uses a single rendering engine which is the native Aximmetry engine. It is a 3D render engine that can be programmed through a highly flexible node-based user-interface.
Aximmetry is committed to continuing to develop its native engine and offer it as a more cost-effective high-end option for virtual production.
- Real-time 2D/3D rendering, image processing, post-processing, effects, color correction, LUT and more.
- Advanced 3D graphics: PBR, HDR, shadows, reflections, refraction, Depth of Field, and more.
- Importing 3D objects and scenes with materials and animations from COLLADA and FBX format.
- Live compositing of virtual background with live actors with real-time shadows, customizable reflections, refractions, lightwrap, visual interactions of virtual and real elements.
- The advanced, award-winning Aximmetry Chroma Keyer is included in all editions. Aximmetry’s 3D Cleanplate feature guarantees perfect keying even when using a moving camera and large green screens.
- The very same Aximmetry software licenses can be used for green screen production, AR, and XR.
