FAQs

The time from shooting to receiving a final volumetric asset depends both on the complexity and length of the performance. A simple one-minute clip of a solo performer typically takes 5-7 business days to process the video feeds into a 3D asset, perform QA and touchups, loop the action, and compress for efficient delivery and playback. We recommend discussing your specific situation with us for a more accurate estimate.

We have dedicated SDKs for both Unreal and Unity, and we can stream anywhere to web players using Three.js and Babylon.js. Learn more about our playback and streaming capabilities. 

Hardware, scene complexity, and target FPS will determine how many volumetric humans can participate in a scene. In game engines like Unreal on a decent gaming PC, we've successfully tested up to 60 characters at 60 FPS, and some of our clients have reported many more than that. In headsets, we helped Vertigo Games achieve 6 characters at 60FPS in Quest 2. Each hardware target will change the number of supported humans, please contact us to discuss your delivery goals.
