How do I get tracking and real(BlackMagic) camera data in Aximmetry?

I would appreciate it if you could give me solutions.

🔳What I want to know

・how do I get tracking and real(BlackMagic) camera data in Aximmetry?

・(↑Can I record camera data? If yes, please give me how to record.)

・For example, camera transform, rotating and lens data「X axis is ～, Y axis is ～, Z axis is ～, Zoom is ～, Focus is ～...」.

🔳What I want to do(my goal)

・I only decide on camera work during test shooting and leave it as data.

・I would like to use the camera data as a reference for actual shooting at a later date.

🔳What I can do now(picutre↓)

・Connecting 「TrackedCam_Unreal_3-Cam」and「My UE Project」

・recording it and getting it as 「.mov」and「.xdata」

First you need to connect the Control and Texture pins. What camera tracking system are you using? Have you calibrated it properly and are you getting tracking data into Aximmetry? How to record tracking data is described in the documentation:

@TwentyStudios

Thank you for your solution.

Yes, I connected the Control and Texture pins.

And I'm using Vive Mars, I have already calibratede it and got that data into Aximmetry.

🔳What I want to know

・How can I get the fbx file containing tracking data

・I'll open the fbx with 「3D Viewer」

🔳My current situation(picutre↓)

・I connected the Control and Texture pins.

・I can record tracking data as fbx file.

・But the fbx is empty, so I want fbx containing tracking data. How do I get tracking and real(BlackMagic) camera data in Aximmetry?

Hi,

There are two types of recordings you can create:

FBX: This format can be utilized by other rendering software, such as Blender. You can generate FBX recordings either using the Record_3-Audio compound or with the Tracking Recorder module.
xData: This format is exclusive to Aximmetry and should be your choice if you aim to playback your tracking within Aximmetry itself. Playback can be done within AR camera compounds and Tracked camera compounds' INPUT control board:

For instructions on playback and other useful information regarding tracking data recording, please visit: https://aximmetry.com/learn/virtual-production-workflow/preparation-of-the-production-environment-phase-i/setting-up-inputs-outputs-for-virtual-production/video/recording/how-to-record-camera-tracking-data/#playback

The 3D Viewer does not support FBX files. Additionally, even if it did, its utility would be limited as the generated FBX file does not contain model geometry but rather an animation of the camera's position, zoom, and focus.

Warmest regards,

Japanese

thank you for your solution.

I could solved my problem.

I could opened the fbx file with Unreal Engine.

Thank you for your support!
