DOGHUT is an open-source initiative under active development. It will enable teams of artists to create fully animated content faster, more dynamically, and more intuitively.
It is conceptualized and intended to innovate the storytelling process and to shorten the path from idea to the final product.
Virtual Camera 1.0
The first part of our toolset. A virtual camera for Unreal Engine with tons of features, dials, buttons, and touch controls. Everything open-source for you to play with. More information on the dedicated site.

We grouped them in these workspace configurations that we will focus on first:
About
DOGHUT was created as an open-source initiative by Tobias Stärk and Kariem Saleh from Raindogs Berlin and Woodblock/Polynoid to build and develop tools for virtual filmmaking and virtual production using realtime engines to facilitate the process of content creation.
We intend to keep this open-source and free for everyone and use this website to share our progress with the community. If you have an idea of how to improve this project, want to collaborate, or contribute a feature you have been working on, please contact us.

Thank you very much for every donation! Full disclosure: this goes directly to a personal paypal account and will be used as we see it fit to keep this website going (or to pay for pizza and beers).
