Maaaaaybe you need Unreal Engine. I've always had it installed, so it could be that it's the case. It's almost like the Epic Games Launcher only sort of knows that UE for Aximmetry is installed.

@@hyperbolicfilms thanks!! Apparently only some of the assets in the marketplace can be added to a project. Admittedly, I was trying to add a different environment that took up less space. I'll try the one you added and see if it makes a difference

Thanks! I am hoping to build up a big library of different kinds of clothing so I don't reuse the same items over and over.

@@hyperbolicfilms Thanks. I have probably collected several thousand outfits over my last 5 years using Iclone so nice to see refreshing stuff! *Hugs!🤗🤗🤗*

I'm not sure I have an answer on that. You can try at the Aximmetry forum, they usually respond within a day or two. my.aximmetry.com/posts

I am glad you liked it. I am just recording a video today on how to use the iPhone as a tracker with a cinema or mirrorless camera. It's basically the same as this, but with a few extra steps.

My system was top of the line in 2020, but is fairly dated now. Intel i9-10900KF 3.7ghz 32 GB RAM Nvidia Geforce RTX 3080 Since doing this video, the largest size output I've been able to record without dropping frames is 2560x1440. UHD is a bit too much. HD is no problem. The GPU is what has the heaviest load on it according to Aximmetry's Processor Load info. If you want to shoot at UHD, you'll probably need a 4080 or faster, but it's hard to know without testing it.

I should also say that it is probably scene dependent. The scene I've been testing with is fairly complex, so that might be eating extra GPU.

I haven't yet tried the new Vcam app to see if it has potential in this old style way of doing things. I did just release a new tutorial using Aximmetry, which you can now very easily use an iPhone for both the camera and the tracking. I'm still testing using a DSLR/Mirrorless camera with the iPhone as a tracker, but my initial tests looked promising. I'll have a tutorial of that as soon as I am sure of the workflow. Aximmetry uses Unreal Engine to work, but really takes care of the camera input and keying aspects. There is also a new subscription-based app called JetSet from Lightcraft Pro that lets you use an iPhone for virtual production.

@@hyperbolicfilms Thanks for the detailed reply. I saw the JetSet video and it looks pretty promising although I don't know if the price is right. May be worth a look though. I'd tried their older app which was basically Facetime AR and wasn't very good but hopefully they've ironed it out. I hope that some day there's a simplified method and also maybe some Unreal slimming down, i.e. a "beginner mode" that works but maybe offers only a small percentage of the options because it's pretty overwhelming.

I would test it first over your normal wifi network and see how it works. The official Aximmetry video on Eye suggested the private network, but if your network is not too busy you may be fine with that. If you did want a private wifi network just for the computer and iPhone, you could get a second little wifi router and just link both of them to there. I don't think you'd have to do a static IP for that. You'll just have to do an ipconfig on Windows to see the computer IP and check your iPhone's wifi settings to see what its IP is. I use the automatic IP address to record facial mocap in iClone all the time and I don't have any problems.

You can now do this much easier than I was trying in Aximmetry with their new Eye app

I'm not sure, MoveAI has changed what services are available now. Their MoveOne app needs an iPhone, but I think your best bet is to download the app from the App Store and test out if it works on your device. www.move.ai/single-camera

Glad to hear that! The last (live action) horror film I made really lacked in that department.

Thanks!

I was using Wav2Lip, which seems to get the lips right even on a profile shot. Takes quite long to process a shot and upscale it, but great results.

​​@@hyperbolicfilmshow u upscale the video to decent quality after the wave 2 lip degrade it ??

There is a Wav2Lipz + GAN that does the upscaling and cleaning automatically. I used that in a Google colab ($14 a month) to be able to run it somewhat fast, but it was usually 10 minutes per clip and a lot of clicking.
