Plan V:


IMPORTANT: Please note that currently the Panorama Tool is not working as intended in UE 5.1, we plan to hopefully fix this in a future update. Plan V 2.0 will have a side feature called Plan V Pose which has to be purchased separately on the marketplace (not yet released).


EASILY SHARE YOUR 3D ENVIRONMENTS

Plan V Tools comes with a controllable camera system that will easily turn any level into a navigable 3D environment that can be packaged and shared across team members, production staff or clients. Package scenes are VR compatible.


IMPROVED WORKFLOW

Plan V Tools comes packed with tools that will simplify certain tasks within the editor such as creating storyboards, previewing VFX layers, measuring sets and props, taking screenshots and multi-pass renders, Object ID and adjustable depth pass are all one click away.


VIRTUAL CAMERA TRACKING

Easily set up a VR Headset, VR controller or IOS device as a camera tracker to record shots to level sequences. Android devices can also be used via “Virtual Plugin” by "ByOwlsStudio".

This feature is at an experimental stage currently and might encounter some issues.


NEW FEATURES

Plan V 2.0 will also work with new side features such as Plan V Pose (releasing soon) - a gallery of posed characters that can be placed in levels for storyboards, paintovers and concept art, which can be purchased on the marketplace as an additional add-on.
