MetaShoot | Demo | Photo Studio Digital Twin for Unreal Engine - by VINZI 

Oh thanks man!! Appreciated!

Glad it is useful! Thanks for the feedback

Oh thank you!!

Thank you! I'm glad you like it ☺

Thank you!! I'm deeply immersed in the development of the new version of MetaShoot - a new Demo video will be coming next month! ☺

Thanks for your question! I haven't personally worked with AcesCG, so I can't answer exactly, but if it's something that you can enable normally in Unreal Engine, you should be able to work with it in MetaShoot as well. If you want to talk further about this, please let me know what your usual process for this is and I'll see if it's compatible. We have an #ideas-and-feedback channel in our Discord server if you want to talk about it there. discord.gg/tmME9CY9BB Also feel free to email me at valle@vinzi.xyz

Thanks for your question! I have just sent you a message via Discord, but I'll reply here as well in case someone else has the same concern: The registration system allows me to restrict accounts that haven't purchased it from the EPIC Marketplace, but if you have done it you can pass the plugin around your studio and simply create multiple users. The plugin comes with a file inside that lets me know on login if someone is using it from the Marketplace or from "pirate" sites so I can take measures. EPIC doesn't provide security against this so I had to program it myself as that registration/login system. Apologies for not having updated the Demo video yet, I am working on the new one these days as there are many new features and functionalities that were not included when this video was made. Please let me know if you have any other questions, and thanks for your feedback!

Thanks for reaching out about it and apologies for the very late reply! MetaShoot is becoming Atlux λ and there has been a lot of work to be done so communications are slow at the moment. We have fixed this issue in the new plugin - the problem with MetaShoot was that the lights were set up to be way brighter than the standard lights in UE, so emissive materials would look like they were not glowing. This has been fixed in the new plugin: atlux.ai/

Hi! Thanks for reaching out. Something that can help might be reducing the bloom intensity (either in the DSLR Camera or the MetaShoot_PostProcess actor) so the reflective material doesn't "blind" the camera that much. Feel free to send me an email with some screenshots of the issue at valle@vinzi.xyz so that I can see better what the problem might be and how to solve it. You can also post it on MetaShoot's Discord server where I do troubleshooting: discord.gg/tmME9CY9BB I hope this helps ☺ Cheers, Valle

Thanks for your feedback! I haven't tried that myself, but it should work for the 3D models at least. Not sure if the light information will be easily exported that way though, you might have to redo that part in Omniverse. For now MetaShoot is focused on Unreal Engine, but I might look in the future at making it compatible with other engines. Cheers! Valle

Hi Steve! Thanks for reaching out ☺ MetaShoot can help you set up the render settings, the lighting and the rendering itself, without having to use the Movie Render Queue. For custom animations like the one you describe of the MetaHuman you have to create your own Level Sequence and put it as the Custom Level Sequence in the MetaShoot interface. Please note that for MetaHumans to work well with RayTracing (which is the render engine that MetaShoot uses), you will need to modify the materials in the eyes to not turn black. I have created a post about it in the FAQ channel of MetaShoot's Discord: discord.gg/tmME9CY9BB I hope this helps. If you need any guidance please reach out. I usually do troubleshooting on the Discord server ☺ Cheers, Valle

Thanks for your question! MetaShoot is becoming Atlux λ, a new improved plugin. You can try it for free until the 31st of January here: atlux.ai/ Cheers, Valle

Thanks for your comment! I don't know any way currently to render quads in Unreal Engine. As you mention, UE triangulates meshes when importing them so the info for the quads is gone. I'll let you know if I can find a solution for that! Cheers, Valle

@@atlux-lambda one more thing...is there a demo version? I'd like to try it out first before I make up mind

​@@thegreatSalu There is no demo version for now. I am hoping to get a trial version out in a few months, but there are some other priorities in the development of MetaShoot at the moment. In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord server where users post their work, questions and suggestions about the plugin: discord.gg/tmME9CY9BB

Thanks for reaching out and apologies for the late reply! MetaShoot is becoming Atlux λ, a new plugin with more functionalities including the 5.3 version. The early-access version is already available for previous MetaShoot customers. You can find all the info here: atlux.ai/ It will be available to everyone in December. Please let me know if you need anything else. Cheers, Valle

have you guys considered a donation model of income? your putting up a hard pay wall for people like me that simply cant afford this and its robbing many the opertunity of getting into hte field. if the plugin was free and i was able to use it to make money, i would deffenetly donate once i actually had income. if your product is really good then people would love to donate and give back.@@atlux-lambda

Yes indeed! In one of the latest updates I added the option of using a custom Level Sequence to render straight from MetaShoot's interface 😊 Feel free to join our Discord server to see user's showcases, and also the feedback and troubleshooting sections! discord.gg/tmME9CY9BB Please let me know if you have any other questions. Cheers! Valle

Thanks for reaching out! MetaShoot is becoming Atlux λ, a new plugin with more functionalities. There is a free demo at the moment until the 25th of January: atlux.ai

@@atlux-lambda i get it. thank you for gift. this is amazing tool

Thanks for your question! In one of the latest updates of MetaShoot I added a Custom Level Sequence field to render custom animations straight from MetaShoot's interface. I am releasing a new update this weekend with a bunch of new functionalities including Save/Load custom presets, Custom rendering samples, and the Mac version. Once this is out I will film a new Demo video with all the updated functionalities. Please feel free to join our Discord channel for updates, showcases, questions and more! discord.gg/tmME9CY9BB

@@atlux-lambda wow that's Amazing

hahahahaha Cheers man

Hi Chris, Thanks again for your question! I have replied in the other video as well - MetaShoot is becoming Atlux λ and it will have options to purchase multiple licenses: atlux.ai/

Thanks for your question! There is an option in the Details panel of the lights to "Hide Mesh in Render"

Thanks for reaching out! We are transitioning MetaShoot into Atlux λ, and it will be available for everyone in December: atlux.ai/

Thanks for your feedback. MetaShoot has never been free and I haven't made it look like so at any point - its current price is $249.99 USD. Apologies if that caused any confusion, but I believe that it is more than a fair price for what the plugin offers. Since the release of this demo video many new features have been added to the plugin and I am working on making a new demo for all of them. Feel free to join our Discord server to see what some users are making with it and the latest updates: discord.gg/tmME9CY9BB Thanks, Valle

@@atlux-lambda It cool... I thought this was a free plug in for the software. I realized that after. When I tried to get it on market place.
