Image PixelS & VDMX

benoitlahoz's picture

Hi all !

I made a VDMX qcFX with the new Image PixelS 2 to track a colored object and display the bounding box, but I can't manage to use it in VDMX.

I don't know if it's an Image PixelS incompatibility or if I have made some mistakes in my comp (eg : troubles of XY coordinates from QC to VDMX).

The comp is attached. Any help would be really appreciated ! :-) Thanks in advance !

In fact, it seems that the great Image PixelS 2 doesn't work on VDMX (or it is my configuration...).

But, the same M.Oostrik OpenCl PixelS kernel works very fine (http://kineme.net/forum/Discussion/DevelopingCompositions/PixelSusingOpenCL). Here is the comp for VDMX.

[edit : in fact this not a color tracking anymore, but a "contrast tracking" I guess. I'm tracking a black object on white color]

This sounds like assumptions in OpenGL state settings being set that VDMX changes. Needs fixing in PixelS.

Mmm, don't mind fixing the plugin. But I don't understand the problem. Does it also occur with the original plugin?

Just ensure you track and reset all OpenGL state assumptions in the plugin, and manually set any state the plugin relies on (and re-set to previous values).

The joys of middle-ware.
