Velox Player Plus is a code open source plug-in that imports, edits and saves volumetric video files in the VLX format recorded on mobile devices with depth cameras. The VLX format allows creators to bring photo-realistic 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.
The video recording introduction and tutorial is here.
Plus Features:
Velox Player Editor UI
Run Converter Blueprints (from Content/Converter) with NN Models (requires Velox Neuro plugin, download ONNX file from here) to
detect objects and humans
generate masks

In order to record a 3D video you need an app installed on a device with a depth camera. For example, 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
The VLX format contains the following data channels:
Camera tracking with world position and orientation - required
Video in RGB format (compressed) - required
Depth in Grayscale format - required
Time code frame synchronization - required
Mask channel in Grayscale format (compressed) - optional
Normals channel in RGB format (compressed) - optional
Human tracking - optional
Audio file in the WAV format - optional
To get started open our sample project for UE5.3 with basic features and effects you can create using our sample VLX footages which are available for everyone to download video1, video2, video3, video4
Full frame reconstruction in 3D
Filter human subjects from the background with depth using tracking of Region of Interest (ROI) with AI (available in separate Plugin: Velox Neuro)
Remove the background with human masks generated by AI
Apply UE visual effects with fog, particles, lighting and reflection.
