[AdamHorvath]

Hi,
Thanks for your great plugin, I want to know is it possible to use custom pattern, I meant replace Hiro to another word ?

Sure you can replace with your own graphics!

Hi everyone,

Before I dive deep into some of the new features of the upcoming release, I've made the current version compatible with Unreal Engine v4.11!

v1.4 Revision 1 for UE4.11 is available for download on unreal4ar.com!

Thats really Nice, Is this change include in sample project ? I couldn't found that.

Wow that is some sick stuff! That will be really cool to see as a robust feature inside the editor. Good job!

Yes, you can change markers in the ARSample project, just copy the new marker into Content/ARToolkit/Data, and add your marker name to the Markers enumeration (located in the Blueprint folder in the editor)

Where is the UpdatesForAndroid folder located? I can't seem to find it. I am using the demo version before purchasing, is it available in the demo version? Thanks!

File does not exist. Make sure you specified correct file name.

The DEMO version is only working on windows in Unreal Editor.

Hi,

I just started to work with 4.11 as it's quite new. Off course the plugin will support the new version, I am expecting to release the new version approx in 7-10 days.

Well, I am not quite sure about the multi-material question, if you could provide me an example would be great.

Are you sure the problem is related to the AR plugin ?
Can you run you scene on your iPad without using the plugin ?

Thanks,
Adam

Ok Let me try to run the scene without the plugin thats a good point. I'll get back to you on this.

Blank level tutorial

I'm finding this plugin very useful, I've written a short tutorial on creating a completely blank level though honestly it's as much for my own benefit so I can remember what I did
I figure I might as well share it in case it's of use to anyone else!

I'm having trouble with running this on my Nexus 9. It works just fine some of the time, but other times it will run for a few seconds and then hard reset the tablet, rebooting it!
It's weird because it works just fine on my much older Samsung Galaxy S4 and never crashes.
Has anyone else experienced this?
The adb logcat output isn't giving me much to go on, only that it occurs as below:

Does anyone have any ideas?
Is this a nexus 9 issue? My suspicion is that it's something to do with accessing the camera, perhaps buffer issues, memory usage or similar. But I don't have much to go on.

Thanks for the information. I was able to get the android demo working on my S6! However, the viewing angle only seemed to work when I was looking at the markers from almost straight above (camera was perpendicular to markers). I thought it might be glare on the paper from the ink so I tried it using the markers from my computer screen and got the same results. Also, the motorcycle is an unshaded gray. Has anyone else experienced these issues?

Hi Tom! Great tutorial!

[Sp0ngeA]

Hello, you plugin is great!

I bought it with personal license (99$) and compile to windows — working great!
But it does not working in Android — write "webcamra init error"

Please, help!

P.S. build the whole engine from source 4.10 like you write here — http://www.unreal4ar.com/documentation/ (3. Android)
P.P.S. setup from «*.apk» on Anroid device

Hi,

You will also need the .obb file.
Use the .bat file (located in your staging directory) for installing the app to your phone, or use the launch button from the editor for testing purposes.

I hope it helps!
