OPEN STUDIO LICENSE PROGRAM

The Open Studio License Program is an initiative by Zero Density to provide access at no cost to the entire software stack of Zero Density's software ecosystem to SOHO (Small Office / Home Office) users, educational users and self-learning users. The program aims to expand the user base of Zero Density's graphics ecosystem, Reality 5. By doing so, Zero Density enriches the ecosystem with more skilled professionals and contributes to platform innovation and product improvements.

The program is a unique offering that provides full access to Zero Density's graphics ecosystem, Reality 5. This ecosystem facilitates the creation of virtual studios, augmented reality (AR), extended reality (XR), on-air graphics, and video wall graphics, all integrated into an end-to-end real-time graphics workflow.

Any entity with annual gross revenues below $1,000,000 USD (including any advances received or other funds raised and measured at the highest consolidated holding entity level for the group of underlying entities over the last 12 months) is eligible to use the software without any license fee. This includes SOHO (Small Office / Home Office), educational, and self-learning users.

If a user's revenue exceeds $1,000,000 USD, they will be required to transition to a paid license. Revenue includes government funding and third-party funding. Academic users must provide accreditation from a recognized academic institution in their country or establishment. The complete eligibility is described in our EULA.

Zero Density is committed to growing its user base and enhancing its platforms through broader industry engagement. By offering this program, we aim to close the talent gap in the industry, ensuring more professionals are trained on our software. Additionally, the expanded user base can also provide valuable feedback that will help us improve our products more rapidly.

For Standard and Enterprise licensees, we offer Epic Games sublicenses that are subject to the Zero Density EULA. Open Studio License Program users are subject to Epic’s Unreal Engine EULA.

The Open Studio License does not include support services unless support is purchased separately. You can obtain information on support options by submitting a contact form on our website, reaching out to your designated country manager, or by emailing us directly at open.studio@zerodensity.io.

Support services are optional and subject to the applicable purchase documents, support terms, and program terms. For more information about support options and pricing, please contact your country manager or email open.studio@zerodensity.io.

Optional camera tracking, talent tracking, and engine hardware can be purchased from Zero Density as part of the program. Traxis Hub, which is required for camera tracking and talent tracking, is available at no cost and supports FreeD-compatible tracking systems. Contact us for more information about these options.

Epic Games restricts purchases in certain regions due to export control laws and sanctions. As of now, the countries and regions where Epic Games services, including purchases, are not available can be found here. We follow the same regulations and restrictions.
