Overview

High-definition 3D CG assets generated with the XYN Spatial capture solution can be seamlessly integrated into virtual production, in-camera VFX (ICVFX), and XR production workflows when combined with Aximmetry.
This page introduces two methods for using XYN content in an Aximmetry environment, along with the connection procedures and plugin settings for each.

What is Aximmetry?

Aximmetry is a production platform for real-time compositing and rendering in virtual production and broadcast, built around its own native render engine. It also works alongside Unreal Engine: Unreal renders the scene while Aximmetry handles keying, compositing, and live overlays. It gives production teams the flexibility to create visuals on set while keeping the system stable and reliable throughout live operation.

Using in Combination with Aximmetry

Verified Aximmetry Solutions

Using with native renderer:
- 2026.4.0
Using with XYN Spatial Renderer Plugin 1.1.0:
- 2024.3.0-2025.1.0 (using UE5.4.3) (Only in Live Sync mode. Editor Data mode did not yet exist.)
- 2025.2.0 (using UE 5.5.4)
- 2025.3.0-2026.2.0 (using UE 5.6.1)
- 2026.3.1 (using UE5.7.4)

Connection Methods

There are two methods for using XYN content with Aximmetry, depending on the desired video quality and workflow.

Native Renderer：Prioritize ease of use and work within standard features
Sony XYN Spatial Renderer Plugin：Maximize image quality and the fidelity of spatial capture data

Using with Native Renderer

This is a simple and easy-to-use connection method that uses Aximmetry's standard rendering engine.
For Aximmetry configuration methods and detailed usage instructions, please refer to the Aximmetry Knowledge Base.

Using with Sony XYN Spatial Renderer Plugin

This is a high-end connection method that integrates XYN's proprietary rendering technology (XYN Spatial Renderer Plugin) as an external renderer within Aximmetry, maximizing the quality of spatial capture data.
[Overview of the Connection] By sending tracking data from Aximmetry and returning video from the XYN Spatial Renderer Plugin back to Aximmetry, high-quality spatial capture data can be reflected in real-time composite video.

For XYN plugin usage: Please refer to the XYN Support Page.
For Aximmetry external renderer settings: Please refer to the Aximmetry Knowledge Base.

Benefits of Integration

Connecting Production Data to the Operational Environment

The efficient conversion of real-world spaces into 3D CG assets through the XYN Spatial capture solution reduces the production workload for background content required in XR and virtual production. Spatial content that previously required significant time and cost for 3D modeling and texture creation can now be rapidly converted into assets through real-location capture, contributing to improved production efficiency and faster production timelines. Furthermore, when combined with Aximmetry, the created assets can be smoothly incorporated into a real-time compositing environment, enabling the construction of a workflow that encompasses on-site operations.

Utilizing Real-Location Content

By incorporating real urban spaces, buildings, and indoor environments as background assets, the variety of background content available for broadcast green screen operations expands. This makes it easier to incorporate diverse spatial expressions into program productions that previously could not be prepared due to production cost constraints.

Integration into Virtual Production Operations

By using the XYN Spatial capture solution together with Aximmetry, real-time compositing and video operations can be performed in broadcast on-site environments across green screen recording, LED wall-based production, and augmented reality. This combination enables XYN-generated assets to be seamlessly incorporated into each of these virtual production workflows.
