The new Virtual Production Solution makes collaborative cross-platform workflows across cameras, DCC’s and games engines a reality and is today available for Unreal Engine, Unity 3D and Autodesk Maya

Los Angeles, CA, March 12, 2020: Virtual Production Software specialist  Glassbox Technologies has released its real-time, collaborative software solution  BeeHive. Hot on the heels of its Advanced Imaging Society Technical Lumiere Award win, BeeHive is out now for Unreal Engine, Unity 3D and Autodesk Maya. Content creators can  download a Free Trial from the Glassbox website starting today.

“Our mission is to help virtual production teams collaborate as efficiently and seamlessly as possible,” said Glassbox CPO and co-founder Mariana Acuña Acosta. “It is with that in mind that we developed Beehive, a first-of-its-kind software solution for teams working in Unreal Engine, Unity 3D and Autodesk Maya. Beehive has been in beta since last July and now we’re rolling it out to the world. We can’t wait to hear what users think!” 

BeeHive is a cross-platform software solution built to enable collaborative, real-time workflows between Unreal Engine, Unity 3D and Autodesk Maya. It removes the inefficiencies of manual import and export, allowing directors, cinematographers and artists to sync, edit and review cameras, assets and virtual scenes from multiple applications at the same time and from any location. For instance, a supervisor can work inside of Unreal Engine or Unity 3D, alongside a connected Maya artist, to review and modify assets, troubleshoot lighting and FX, check actors’ faces and body performances, modify scenes, even build entire worlds from scratch for virtual reality (VR) experiences... and each user can see any change reflected instantly in each platform. BeeHive is also interoperable with Glassbox’s virtual camera  DragonFly, enabling creators to visualize changes from a camera’s viewpoint as they occur, which is useful for virtual location scouting and real-time review sessions.

BeeHive operates as a plug-in for Unreal Engine, Unity 3D and Autodesk Maya, so different users with different roles can work together in the software platform and interface of their choice. Beehive includes a high-performance, real-time versioning system and a custom-tailored C++ database, which means all changes to files, across platforms, are instantly stored and available should a user wish to roll back to an earlier modification. Finally, Beehive is multi-threaded, so it introduces minimal overhead to other applications.
