Do you mean that you can cook the project in regular Unreal? The problem seems to be that you’re missing a plug-in or are using a plug-in that Aximmetry needs to compile before cooking. Look at the error message and actually read what it says! Have you installed Visual Studio with all the dependencies, as per the Aximmetry documentation? 

Also, Aximmetry doesn’t convert your UE5 project. Cooking is the same thing as compiling, meaning that it compiles the project to run outside the UE5 editor. This is the same thing you would do when shipping a game built in Unreal. Cookijg the project simply means that it’s compiled to run as an executable in the background hen you open it in Aximmetry. Cooking is not a process specific to Aximmetry. 

Thank you for your response!

To answer your questions:

- I can cook the project in regular Unreal.

- I have installed the dependencies as per the Aximmetry documentation (and triple checked that i did this properly).

- I of course read the error message and saw it was related to a plugin and I attempted to instal the plugin and still got more errors related to this plugin.

Perhaps my lack of knowledge/experience on now to install plugins properly might be hindering me? I copied the plugin into the proper folder in Aximmetry_Unreal 5.5.4.  I'm a film maker, not a developer; although I have some experience programing/developing applications - seems I need to find a resource on how to troubleshoot Unreal in order to figure this out.

In any case, thank you.

Hi,

Make sure you are using Visual Studio version 17.14.7 or later. There was an issue with a few versions earlier that could cause similar compilation problems.

If you have not already done so, install Visual Studio exactly as described in the documentation: https://aximmetry.com/learn/virtual-production-workflow/starting-with-aximmetry/how-to-install-aximmetry/#aximmetry-de 

If you are opening the City Sample project made by Unreal, note that the Big_City_LVL level (map) overrides the Aximmetry camera position. To fix this, set the GameMode Override to None in the Window → World Settings:

Warmest regards,
