We make plugins for Unity and Unreal, driver training simulators, and OFFSIDE, a telemetry logger and analysis package for track days.
Plugins for Unity and Unreal covering vehicle rendering, vehicle physics, engine audio and procedural generation. Sold through the Asset Store and Fab.
A car paint shader for Unity that models the layers of real automotive paint: base coat, metallic flake, pearlescent tint and clearcoat. Each layer responds to light on its own, so paint reads correctly up close in cinematics as well as at speed in gameplay.
Asset StoreVehicle physics for Unreal Engine aimed at trucks and off-highway machines. Where it stands apart is articulated vehicles: proper coupling solvers for trailers and hitched implements, multiple driven axles, and a choice of tyre models to suit the surface and the vehicle.
FabA real-time exhaust acoustics modeller. It solves the exhaust system with a finite volume method on the GPU via Vulkan, so the sound is computed from the geometry and the engine state rather than played back from recordings. Change the exhaust, change the sound.
EnquireGenerates and places objects in Unity scenes from rules you define: distributions, spacing, alignment to terrain, exclusion zones. Change the rules and the scene regenerates, so layouts stay editable instead of being locked in by hand placement.
Register interestSeveral more plugins are in development. If there's a tool you keep wishing existed, tell us about it.
Suggest a toolOFFSIDE is a telemetry system in two parts. An OFFSIDE logger straps into the car and records GPS position and inertial data through your session. OFFSIDE Desktop then splits the session into laps so you can compare lines, braking points and cornering loads between them.
We build the software for driving simulators used in driver education and training: learner drivers, heavy vehicle licensing, machine familiarisation. Vehicles and scenarios are scoped to the client, and the software runs on whatever rig hardware suits the installation.
Our passion is real-time: paint that responds to light as the camera moves, exhaust acoustics solved as the engine revs, telemetry you can stand over between sessions.
Areopagus Engineering is a small product company in Brisbane. We develop and sell our own software and hardware: engine plugins on the Unity and Unreal marketplaces, the OFFSIDE telemetry system, and simulator software for driver training. Making things behave truthfully at interactive speed is the hard problem we keep coming back to, whatever the product.
Ask about a plugin, an OFFSIDE unit or a simulator build. We're in Brisbane and reply within two business days.
