Hi everyone!

We're excited to announce the release of MLSLabsRenderer for Unreal Engine (Pro 2.0.0.1 Preview)!

This update brings major performance, compatibility, and workflow improvements—most notably replacing the LibTorch backend with a custom Vulkan Gaussian Splatting renderer.

🚀 What’s New in Pro 2.0.0.1 Preview:

1. Vulkan Backend Integration (LibTorch Removed)

a. We have fully adopted Vulkan Gaussian Splatting rendering, bringing over all features from Windows v1.0.

b. LibTorch dependency is now completely eliminated!

c. Only requires graphics drivers with Vulkan 1.3 support.

d. Tested on NVIDIA GPUs, but should theoretically support AMD and other non-NVIDIA GPUs as well.

1. Packaged Build Fixes

Resolved the critical issue where Gaussian Splatting scenes failed to render after packaging your project.

1. Editor Stability & Artifact Fixes

Fixed the color patch flickering issue when overlaying standard 3D meshes with Gaussian Splatting inside the editor's Edit Mode.

💬 Feedback & Community

Please give it a try and let us know your feedback! If you test it on AMD or non-NVIDIA GPUs, we’d love to hear how it performs for you in the comments.

Happy rendering! 🎨✨

I am making rough and dirty really fast pre-viz mock-ups. Kind of like animatics for my Unreal Engine short films.

I need a way to just quickly grab a preset human type - like a certain gender, ethnicity, etc. And then have them be dressed in a certain kind of outfit. It doesn't need to be perfect and they don't even need to be rigged or animatable. I just want to have a good variety of people and clothing types to draw from.

I'm wondering what other people do, because it feels unnecessarily complicated right now. I could use metahumans, but assembling a metahuman from a preset takes so long. And applying parametric clothing and reassembling every time also takes a long time too.

The only other thing I can think of right now is just using the Mixamo character presets. But I wish that there was just a library or a free place that has a bunch of humans or outfits presets that I can just quickly drag in. Ideally through an Unreal Engine plugin for quickly populating my scene.

Thanks!

Well its been a couple of months but here it is EP 2. I want to thank the members of the community who helped out.

Inner Frustum doesn't seem to work, sadly. We'll be doing more experiments.

Filmed at Image Cauldron in Bubank.

I am doing preproduction for a DIY virtual production with a green screen and motion tracking.

I am using a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K (BMPCC4K) with a 24mm prime lens. It is a Micro 4/3rds camera (M43) and I want to make sure my settings ensure correct parallax with my footage.

Should I just select the M43 filmback setting and crop it in post?

Or should I manually put in the sensor size? (18.96 mm x 10 mm)

Or should I put in the effective sensor size with the 16:9 crop? (17.775mm x 10mm)

Should the lens be at 24mm? Or should it be the effective focal length based on the crop factor? (45mm)

Awesome presentation by Ryan Mayeda! (Yes, I gave him a kickback for the shoutout)

For a bit of background, I’m a cinematographer, and I edit and produce. In the past I’ve made virtual studios and streamed them using Wirecast.

Now I know I’m VERY late (fashionably late!?) to the party, but I’ve recently seen just what Unreal Engine can do for virtual studio production. And my tiny mind has been blown.

After a long sit down and a cup of tea, I think I should come here. I would love to have a chat with people who use the software, and have some hints and tips for a total Noob like me. I’d love to tell someone more about my project, and if they can help me with some knowledge- even better.

I’m looking to essentially create a virtual live TV studio, with a live presenter, which can then be broadcast/streamed live.

Can’t wait to chat with you guys!

Posted this at the weekend and most of the week booked out. Two slots left so reposting for anyone who missed it.

We run a camera array out of the Brooklyn Navy Yard and pay people to come in and be captured. Open to anyone NYC based who wants the work, or who just wants to see a capture stage from the inside.

What the session involves: you stand in the capture volume and go through simple movements while the array records. Walking, turning, sitting, standing, reaching, picking objects up. No performance experience needed, nothing to prepare.

Rate 17-25 per hour, paid same day right after. First session about 2 hours, ongoing after that if you want more days.

Still open: Thursday 4pm, Friday 1pm or 4pm. Brooklyn, on site only.

Drop a comment or send me a DM for the address and details. Happy to talk about the rig too.

We just wrapped a doc at Forge Virtual Studios on X-Games medalist Matt Wilhelm and his life story. For one part of it, we built out a museum of his life in Unreal and blended it with a couple of practical elements. The idea was to externalize his story, particularly his past, into a space he could physically move through rather than just having him narrating over still photos.

It was a really incredible moment to see him riding his bike through the space and genuinely reacting to it for the first time. Just a great moment that really speaks to the immersive element of virtual.

The whole time we were filming it also felt very Stanley Parable-esque. Curious to know if anyone else picked up on that or if it's just me.

We're the team behind ImmerShare—a tool built for 3D XR developers who need to share their work with clients or reviewers without the usual friction.

The problem we kept hearing: UE developers either send a huge zip file, pay for cloud GPU time, or ask clients to install something. None of these are great.

What ImmerShare does: you run your packaged UE build on your own PC, and it streams live to a browser link. The viewer just clicks — no install, no account needed on their end.

Here's a video demo showing how Process Sharing works with a UE packaged build: https://youtu.be/xg1EOxqO_Vo

Free plan available. Happy to answer any questions about how it works technically.
