After two years of research and development, virtual production specialists ARwall has released a new set of updates to ARFX Pro Unreal Engine Plugin.

In a bid to streamline virtual production workflows, the ARFX Pro Plugin consolidates all settings from Unreal Editor into one place for ease of use. The software requires no coding or programming knowledge, making it possible for creators of all backgrounds and sizes to elevate their productions.

Now, end users are able to adjust and save all their settings in-game, without needing to exit into Unreal Editor. According to the company, the main advantages of this update are saving time and production costs while producing triple AAA quality content.

The latest update of this solution for virtual production—with the same tools developed and deployed on set for Disney, WB Discovery, and 20th Century Studios—includes the following features and updates:

• Post Process: temperature, tint, saturation, contrast, gamma, and gain
  ARFX Camera Options: tracking, movement speed, yaw/pitch speed, screen dimensions, near clip distance, bookmark transition speed

“I was looking for creatives who shared my vision that this technology is capable of changing an industry,” Terry Crews, founder of Amen & Amen Studios, commented about ARFX Pro. “ARwall was the team that started this revolution for indie filmmaking, and they’re continuing to innovate with the most accessible solution. We’re happy to say our stage is powered by the original virtual production solution, ARFX Pro by ARwall.”
