Questions
CyberGaffer enables you to replicate virtual scene lighting in the real world. It is a standalone application accompanied by a plugin for Unreal Engine. The plugins capture light information from the virtual scene and transfer it to the application. The application computes the best possible real-world approximation and tunes the physical lighting fixtures in a VP studio accordingly.

Technical Details
Features: The plugin allows users to add a CyberGaffer Scene Capture actor to the desired location in the virtual scene. The location is typically determined by the talent's position in the virtual scene during Virtual Production. The CyberGafferSceneCapture actor renders a texture of a sphere that captures all the lighting from the scene and then sends this texture via HTTP to a user-specified address and port. A standalone CyberGaffer application then receives the texture as a task for reproducing the lighting in the Virtual Production studio. The application computes the best possible real-world approximation and adjusts the physical lighting fixtures in the VP studio accordingly.
