Introduction
In this documentation, we will talk about how you can use and edit an Aximmetry stock scene made with Unreal Engine.
Stock scenes are a great option if you want
- a production-ready studio in a short time.
- to learn about using Aximmetry DE in-depth.
You can check out our available stock scenes here.
NOTE: Every scene is compatible with Aximmetry 2024.2.0 and all later versions of the software.
NOTE: You can find the latest UE installation requirements here. These requirements must be met or you could experience issues during cooking or running the scene.
