ANNX Studio

ANNX is the reality capture line of EMX Inc., a company based at 26-12 World Cup Buk-ro 1-gil in Mapo-gu, Seoul. What began as a single desktop application now runs as four products presented together at annx.ai. Technology describes the end to end pipeline of autonomous scanning, 3D reconstruction and data extraction. Hub is the business platform. Studio is the desktop application. VFX covers folding the same reconstruction technology into film and television pipelines through EMX's own visual effects business.

ANNX Studio is the consumer facing product and the one the four-product stack grew out of. It arrived first on macOS in May 2025, reached version 1.01 over that summer, came to Windows with a high performance Xsplat preset aimed at large datasets, and left beta at version 1.1.0 at the start of 2026. Version 1.1.11 added project creation from 360 photos.

Studio requires macOS 15.1 or later on an Apple M1 chip or later. The Windows build requires an NVIDIA GPU, and EMX recommends Windows 11 with an RTX A6000 or an RTX 4090. Structure from Motion runs inside the application, so images, video and 360 panorama footage go in without a separate COLMAP pass. ANNX Studio Cloud, in beta, runs the same pipeline in a browser on cloud GPUs in a Seoul region with nothing to install, while the desktop builds keep capture data on the local machine.

Recent releases have concentrated on the editor and on 360 handling rather than on the trainer. Version 1.1.8 optimised the 360 video modelling pipeline and extended the measurement tools in the ANNX AI Editor, the editor for inspecting and annotating a trained scene. Version 1.1.9 fixed a failure loading large PLY files in that editor. Version 1.1.10 improved camera alignment and fixed a 360 panorama error specific to MacBooks.

The ANNX AI Editor also runs as a standalone browser application at editor.annx.ai, free during its beta and at version 1.8.0 in October 2026. It imports PLY, SOG, SPZ, SPLAT, KSplat and LCC scans alongside GLB and glTF models, video and images, and exports PLY, compressed PLY, SOG and SPZ in versions 3 and 4, or a whole scene as an HTML viewer or a ZIP package. Its tools include natural language editing, automatic alignment and comparison of two scans, sunlight and moonlight relighting, particle entrance effects, rain and snow, and wind that sways Gaussians inside up to eight user drawn sphere or box regions.

ANNX Hub is the industrial half of the line and does not overlap with Studio. It presents reconstructed assets through a map based interface and is sold against three named problems. Telecom tower management replaces manual inspection and image review with an on site equivalent built from reconstructed 3D data. Construction work detects and analyses structural defects and safety risks, then holds them against precise locations inside the reconstruction. Smart factory work simulates equipment and monitors quality through production stages of large items such as transformers.

Pricing on Studio is credit based with free and paid tiers, and paid tiers unlock export of trained .ply files. Version 1.1.10 added an annual plan discounting Pro and an Enterprise plan for corporate members. EMX now lists promotional prices of $99.99 a year for PRO and $1,499.99 a year for Enterprise, with Basic free. Basic and PRO are licensed for non-commercial use only, and Enterprise, aimed at organisations with revenue over $1M, is the tier that permits commercial work. EMX does not publish a headcount or a funding figure. On the commercial side EMX has taken the technology into retail, partnering with SpotLite to bring 3DGS into fashion, and EMX's own visual effects business is the route by which the VFX product reaches production work.
