Reality Actor Spawning

Process

Using UE5 Plugins

With the Reality 5.6, utilizing a plugin is straightforward, accessible and can be readily accomplished. We anticipate that the majority of plugins Unreal 5.6 will be compatible with Reality 5.6.

Tracked Billboard

In this section, you'll discover how to use the Tracked Billboard pipeline with Reality 5.6. For our demonstration, we will be using TRAXIS Talent Tracking as a provider.

Green Screen Virtual Studio

Real-time Green Screen Virtual Studio is a specialized production setup used in film, television, and other setups. It involves shooting a subject or scene against a cyclorama, which is replaced with your real-time rendered image by Reality 5.6 using node: RealityKeyer.

Shadow and Ambient Occlusion in Augmented Reality

Note that using Source Radius to 0 in your lights can affect shadow rendering and may lead to unexpected results.

Color Grading with 3D LUT Files

Before you start, ensure your CUBE files are in the project folder where you intend to use them.

Utilizing Custom Cyclorama Mesh

Overview

Using Volumetric Cube Mask

The Volumetric Cube Mask node enables the creation of 3D masks with smoothing options, serving various purposes such as preventing certain areas from being keyed by the Reality Keyer.
