How do I install plug-ins in the Unreal Editor for Aximmetry?

Back to Posts

HI, I was installing a plugin from github for Unreal Editor for Aximmetry, and I made it work with the unreal 5.1 raw engine. But it won't work in Unreal Editor 5.1 for Aximmetry. It doesn't compile or even open.

This is a third party plug-in for Microsoft's AzurekinectDK sensor. I want to use the depth sensing and motion capture of this sensor to aid filmmaking.

Below is a picture of how I successfully used point Cloud and body tracking in unreal 5.1

I checked the tutorial at https://aximmetry.com/learn/tutorials/for-aximmetry-de-users-unreal-engine-5/ue5-how-to-install-third-party-code-p lugins-for-unreal-editor-for-aximmetry/

I followed the tutorial to reinstall the plug-in, but it still showed that it needed to be recompiled and did not work properly

Open project copy directly (failed)

Delete the build file and rebuild (failure without a build at all)

Attempt to migrate version via C++ project (failed)

Make sure there is no version of the plugin left in the Aximmetry Unreal plugin folder, place your compiled for 5.1 plug-in in the Marketplace folder in your regular Unreal installation and run the plugin installer from the Aximmetry menu in their Unreal editor.

Check the output log. What does it say?

Sorry, can’t figure out what doing wrong from the log. Are other marketplace plug-ins building successfully?

This plugin can only be used within the project folder. The Engine plugin folder will not start or open the project.

I tried migrating to 5.1 and working with ObjectDeliverer (currently only 5.0), but it still didn't work with the Unreal Editor for Aximmetry.

The plug-in of Azurekinect is very important to me. I would like to ask you to test the project I uploaded. There may be a solution

Just to clarify, I don’t work for Aximmetry, just trying to help out.

So, you’re saying that even in standard Unreal 5.1 it won’t work if the plugin is installed in the engine plugin folder? I think you need to get that working first, before trying to install it in Aximmetry.

Thank you very much for your kindness

I used ObjectDeliverer, a 5.0 plugin (it is a free plugin on the market) for testing.

I successfully migrated the plugin to unreal 5.1 and it worked.

But when I put it in the Unreal Editor for Aximmetry it won't work and it won't open the project.

I have followed the tutorial to install the Aximmetry plugin (but it still cannot be used).

Maybe you’ve missed a step? You shouldn’t manually copy anything to the Aximmetry plugins folder. The plug-in installer will automatically compile plug-ins in the standard UE5 marketplace folder and copy it to its own folder. The plug-in needs to be for 5.1.
