Same question as Anna…. any follow up Thomas? How about for macro work?

[@saccaed]

Been developing in Unreal and other game engines for ~15 years for various hobby projects. As cool as this tech is for video production, I think there are going to be some incredible concert acts coming out in the next few years. Some artists already have been using spatially mapped projections for visuals but integration with Unreal is going to allow for some mind blowing real time interactive content in physical space. For example, foggers and synced projectors can create interesting holographic effects. Play a scene in virtual space over that kind of setup and I think you can start to get an idea of what I'm thinking will make for some amazing concert experiences. Then I consider what might happen when tracking of the physical space is looped into some logic that determines how to alter scene activity. There are opportunities for very cool things to be made as experiences.

Absolutely love the idea of using automation in place of a plethora of tracking tech. There are so many hurdles that need to be simplified to make this accessible to non wealthy creators. This would help a lot.

[@mylesdb]

Welcome to the virtual production party, better late then never! We are using green screen with UE4 and Aximmetry because it’s ultimately more flexible if we need to adjust anything in post production. It’s also totally possible to use green screen with glass. The key is uniform lighting. It looks like the team behind this slider are trying to make the UE side of things more accessible for the every day film maker so that’s pretty innovative right there. Curious to see where things go next!

[@dakken74]

The Axibo combined with a short throw projector projecting a 120" image would be amazing

[@CineMilledUSA]

Just FYI, you can get Gencok without 12G-SDI....... many cameras have had genlock capabilities since the early ages of video cameras.

[@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL]

Explain how in terms of Virtual Production though. I've only heard of one work around the 12g-sdi and that's that's by rigging a DeckLink.

[@DataMakesItWork]

You are correct! There are many cameras that support genlock. However, without 12g HD-SDI you usually have to have a second line just for that purpose. As far as I’m aware this is more of an unreal Engine limitation than a overall camera one.

[@cinestyleinc]

The tech works great, the only issue was the pixels were present on the TV but that is the virtual background not the slider's fault. I would say for the Prosumer only using QLED TV's to achieve shots like this would be best until the Technology for larger scale options becomes available.

[@wonjaejang2153]

but even if you used the best screen, I feel like it would be 100% noticeable as a screen. The thing he's done in every shot is have the background out of focus and I think that's the only time you can use this tech.

[@wanglov]

The tracking function combined with sliding while tracking would be the function I’d use the most. Perfect for b-cam in interviews 🙌

Depth of field always looks trash with video backgrounds though, I can tell 90% of the time when it's used. The most distant stuff doesn't get progressively blurrier unless it's all rendered with this but people don't usually seem to bother

[@shadowshapers]

What a cool bit of clever tech and genius guys. Love getting to discover this new ability through your channel.

[@ScottJWaldron]

Very very cool! The motion adds a lot. I did the most basic concept of this with a small LCD and photos for a mock product photoset, but having a virtual set for talking to the camera footage would be awesome.

[@MattJackson_YouTube]

Just ordered mine. That discount code sealed the deal...oh, and Unreal Engine. Can't wait to put this baby to work!

[@Palvader]

I really want Corridor Crew to play with this as well!

[@DataMakesItWork]

Corridor have been working with a different type of camera tracking system. Although I’m sure they would not mind testing this kind of system out. I’ll have to reach out, I used to work with them back in the day.

[@spdcrzy]

As someone else mentioned, the TV thing doesn't really work unless you have properly out-of-focus bokeh rendered in UE for ALL the objects in the scene, and the screen that you're using is also the correct distance away from your product. Also, I wonder if this sort of scenario would work better with the new QD-OLED technology that's coming out this year, since you wouldn't get blooming around bright spots in your scene or weird IPS glow in dark areas.

[@Chris-kf2gp]

Ah okay. There was something about it that wasn't convincing, I wasn't sure what. Was also thinking if you have a cubemap-like setup with a couple more (smaller) screens around the product, the lighting may better match the world lighting that Disney is able to achieve.

[@PopoRamos]

This gave me an idea. I do have an ordinary power slider, i can power it up, add some tracking marks and make note of the speed, track the camera motion in blender, render out the background loop (now with the correct parallax) put the video on an ultra short trow projector, time it up with the slider as best i can, and boom! Loads of render time saved as opposed to doing that shot in green screen :)

[@nikilragav]

This is awesome. 2 questions: 1. the video feed from the TV seems a little stuttery to me. Is that a bug? 2. If you're pre-baking the video, how does Unreal know the exact location of the screen and the Axios? Seems like there could be slight calibration errors

[@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL]

The stutters may have been from when rendering it in real time with my laggy computer. I used footage from early testing days (months ago) before they figured the baked in file workflow. The other thing is the first iteration slider they sent me had a power issue, and the stutters may have been from that slider, not the tv. The latest one has that all solved.

[@nikilragav]

@@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL Thanks for responding! How does it know where your screen is relative to the slider? Are you just manually putting that into Unreal? So it's possible that there's some misalignment? Does it use that camera built into the slider to calculate some kind of homography matrix and do the alignment?

[@thymeparzival]

I noticed the same thing, glad to hear it has been cleaned up. Would love to see a full stress test video to understand its capabilities and limitation.

[@kurtnelle]

Ok, I understand. Instead of using rotoscoping to add the background in after, you plot the camera path in unreal, render the scene, play the scene in the background and play the camera movement against that background. That is what gives you the correct lighting and parallax effects. Wouldn't a gimbal and a slider do the same thing?

[@ShinyTechThings]

So out of my budget right now so I'll wait to pick one up used in 1-3 years.

[@johnwoodside8714]

[@WayneThePoet]

(Awe man, I put a link in my comment, and it dumped the whole comment. Try #2) This is so awesome! It makes me wish I was still doing 3D. The math motion here is very much like 3D animation. I was an animator from the late 80s through the mid 90s - TV virtual product b-roll, commercials work and games. I had stepped away from it, but around 2007ish, a friend of mine who built out TV studios approached me with a gov contract to build a virtual studio, that would do what you're doing here. Basically to allow live action to meld with a virtual set. It would allow for all of the proper perspective on the fly. Unfortunately, I was done with 3D, burnt out on the demands and slow computers of the day. My dreams always outpaced my machine budget. Anyway, I'm excited to see what you do with this, I know it will be incredible. And if you're interested in seeing my digital 90s demo reel compiled from 3/4", 1/2" beta and (ugh) VHS, let me know where I can send you a link from my Facebook page - it's a hoot... and some cools stuff too.

[@Patrick-jj5nh]

you should have for sure shot a green screen though and compare/contrasted it... its a neat idea but from what i ve seen here its not yet convincing imo , its probably lack of bigger screen or surrounding screen to create enough wrap around lighting to appear real to the eye or simple LED/OLED whatever screen tech quality

[@fdmonaco]

i think its little same Edelkone JibBone right?

[@joelmulder]

Slider looks great, but I've gotta be honest, I didn't find the test shots very convincing. It's probably because the lighting doesn't match exactly since the display both isn't bright enough, and it's only casting light behind the subject. You'd probably get a much better effect with another display in front or to both sides of the subject.

[@MrNEWLAND66]

A really good projector might be awesome with this. Probably not too dissimilar in terms of pricing to that TV you've bought

[@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL]

I may have to figure a way around the Lack of contrast though. The short throw 4K ones are $5k.

[@DataMakesItWork]

I have done tests with the Epson laser 10k and 12k with short-throat lenses. on 12’ x 16’ screens. And that worked all right. However they’re quite expensive. And if you’re going for some thing that doesn’t have enough lumens then you need resolution so you can get closer without image bleed. Unfortunately most consumer projectors are not bright enough with enough contrast ratio to allow for images to look color accurate. However, even projectors are getting cheaper

[@MrNEWLAND66]

@@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL Are they that much?! Ok well then sweet talk a projector company into being a sponsor haha. Might not be as good on terms of contrast as the TV but for people on smaller budgets the lack of contrast might be good enough? But yeah... Didn't really think of that.

[@MrNEWLAND66]

[@SeanKobus]

a projector might work, likely require some roto and masking to clean up. The big issue I see from a projector is that they bounce light differently than a screen. The best possible use for something like this would be macro work with a curved screen and some bounce from the front.

But our teammates at Marbl are assisting with the Fedex Shipping, so we have a bit of intel with them. Not sure about the vague response, i'll probe further for better answer from them. Sit tight, i got chu!

[@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL]

Just got word from Axibo 100% orders have been shipped, but some are being held up in customs. Which makes sense, we ran into this with Marbl products especially given the cost of goods and shipping internationally these days is a headache.
