Velox XR introduces tools of Volumetric Video workflow from mobile devices into Unreal Engine 5.

Velox Player Plus is a code open-source plug-in that imports volumetric video files in the VLX format recorded on mobile devices with depth cameras. The VLX format allows creators to bring photorealistic appearance of people and environments into Unreal Engine scenes. The video frames are turned into animated geometry with textures which is fully compatible with the real-time rendering pipeline of Unreal Engine. With added benefits of the camera tracking and elimination of the background it makes a perfect tool to virtual production and gaming studios for creating immersive experiences based on real-life performances.

In order to record a 3D video you need an app installed on a device with a depth camera. There is an official iOS app “V3L Camera ‘’ available in the App Store for FREE. The process is fully mobile and requires:

NO green screen

NO special studio

NO camera calibration
