Hi! I'm aware that recording the lens distortion data is not possible at the moment, but can I record the focus data to use it in Unreal / Maya / Blender / etc.? As it is a value in meters (I think?) it should work in 3D programs?
Best, Jan
Focus data recording

Hi Jan,
We're excited to share that the latest version of
Aximmetry, version 2023.2.0, has been released today!
The new version adds focus recording to the Record_3-Audio compound, you no longer need to edit it.
Record_3-Audio: added recording of camera focus distance as well when
exporting tracking data into FBX. Also added Focus Distance Scale to the
TRACKING panel that has to be set manually, because different target
third-party applications interpret focus distance differently.
To learn more about all the changes and improvements included in this version of Aximmetry, please visit the following link: https://aximmetry.com/learn/software-version-history/
Warmest regards,
Hi Jan,
Currently, focus data can not be saved into the FBX file. We have this on the request list and we are considering adding it in future releases.
Depending on your modeling software, as a workaround, you could try recording two FBX files. Where the second file records focus data in place of the zoom data. Like this:
And in the modeling software, you merge the two FBX models somehow. I really don't know if this can work, I have a limited understanding of modern modeling software.
If you are using the Record_3-Audio linked compound. Then note, that inside the compound, you can read out the focus from the Record Data collection like this:
And yes, focus data is given in meters. But Unreal has settings that can affect or change the actual distance.
Warmest regards,
