Are you able to track 3d objects?, in my case Im trying to track a cylindrical object like a can. Is this possible with NFT? Thanks in advance

Unfortunately it's not possible, it's working with planar objects only. Maybe in future releases of ARToolKit...

hi,

I have buied your plugin commercial version.
I would like to know your functions (GetMarker, GetMarkerNFT, GetMarkerMATRIX) more detail
what does the parameters about "Position", "Rotation", "CameraPosition", "CameraRotation" mean?

ARToolkitSimple map use "Position", "Rotation", ARToolkitAdvanced map use "CameraPosition", "CameraRotation"

so, does "CameraPosition" and "CameraRotation" mean real world camera position? the origin point(0,0,0) is in "Maker"?

I have sent private mail for you.

Hello, I made a similar plugin, but based on OpenCV and open-source.
The current focus is to integrate that with VR displays and additional video sources (like drones).

Hey Adam,

Got the the latest version working now with unreal 4.11.2.

Was wondering if you can help me with shadow artifacts. On the ios build. I have a lot of poly faces that are very flat and i'm getting horizontal and vertical noise in the shadows on the static mesh.
Is there a way to increase the shadow quality on the Ios build?

Also of Note for those using Unreal 4.11.2 trying to build on Mac OSX from Source. and subsequently need to build to IOS... I found some weird behaviors.

My setup is on a macbook pro 2015 using Latest El Capitan 10.11.5 / Xcode 7.3.1 / Unreal 4.11.2

When you are trying to first use the commercial plugin and yo go to this page for Unreal Project setup:
http://www.unreal4ar.com/documentation/


Under the OSX Section.

1. Install xcode from apple app store
2. Launch unreal engine editor (4.10, 4.11 or later)
3. Create a new C++ code project without starter content
4. Copy all files from SampleProject directory to your new project directory
5. In UE4 editor File -> xcode project (optional)
6. Exit from unreal engine editor
7. Launch your new project from epic launcher
8. Click on rebuild missing DLLs when prompted
9. Click on File -> Package project -> OSX

NOTE:

Step 4 :Make sure to select "Replace" option from the finder dialog box after you try to copy into your project file

Step 7: I noticed that if i use the "Epic Games Launcher That You can get compile errors not sure why.
Instead...If you First Launch Unreal 4.11.2 directly (don't launch from the project section in the "Epic games launcher") then use the "Unreal Editor Launcher" menu that comes up then select the new project it seems to compile fine.

Hope these tips help.

Thanks for you suggestions, and comments!
I'll check Step 7. I did not notice the same behavior on my end.
