The plugin is built for UE 4.27, UE 5.0-5.3.2 !
Plugin compatible with UE5.3.2!
Due to changes in the Engine Code you will need to have the `Constrain Aspect Ratio` of the ArchVisCineCamera turned on and have the Filmback aspect ratio of the ArchVisCineCamera matching the aspect ratio of the Output Resolution in the MRQ Output Setting. I am still looking for alternatives that work for all cases.
The plugin will generally require an update after each engine update, so give me some to assess the changes and adjust accordingly before you update to the latest version.
This plugin features an ArchVisCineCamera which can automatically correct the view to look like a 2-point perspective (with the vertical lines being truly vertical). The strength of the correction can be adjusted as required. The ArchVisCineCamera also has an experimental feature where we can set a custom NearClippingPlane distance per camera, which is useful for interior shots.
There is also an experimental `ArchVisSceneCapture2D` which allows the rendering of an ArchVisCineCamera to a texture.
All the properties are accessible in Blueprint and can be animated in Sequencer.
Movie Render Queue Passes
To render the unique features of the ArchVisCineCamera, some custom Movie Render Queue Passes were created, based on the existing ones. The following are available:
Dataprep Operations
Custom Dataprep Operations were created to provide more functionality. The following are available:

Important/Additional Notes:
This plugin has been developed and tested for ArchVis, using Dataprep for import, Sequencer for animation, and Movie Render Queue for rendering. It should work fine for any other purpose (the plugin packages and works properly) but please contact me first if you have any particular use case in mind.
The Dataprep Operations were made and tested for Datasmith files coming from SketchUp. They should work similarly with Datasmith files coming from other software but feel free to contact me first if you have any particular questions.
