Is BLAM still working in 2.79

Is blam still working in Blender 2.79
Now that there is a shadow catcher, it doesnt seam to work at here

please respond if you got it working.

BUMP - Just trying to use this myself, not getting very far. :frowning:

@ colkai
I used blam and it works. Don`t you get it installed or what do you mean?
i beliefe razor did get it working. His post is from last year.

BLAM assumes a photographic image with centre at the middle of frame.
there is another one that might help

see this other addon

offers more options

Ahh, maybe my image was not as required, I’ll try a couple of others. Ricky, cheers, I did notice that thread last night, will have a play, new to this so likely making too many mistakes / assumptions.

I use sketchup to match the camera and then import the skp file into blender. The sketchup camera calibration is imho better and quicker to setup. The only problem is that you have to adjust the focal lenght of the camera because the importer does not import it correctly.

Ricky, cheers man, that other addon is far more accurate, providing I use the Focal+Y. Once I’ve scaled the result to “room size”, I got a quick plate for working with. :slight_smile:

glad it could help
and I think it is even better then Blam
has more options

happy bl

yeah, if u want do install u need to uncompress by right clicking. Then bring that to the Windows (C:) folder then bring it to program files, blender foundation, blender, 2.79, scripts, addons and boom place it in there. Then go to user prefernces on blender and install from file and find the file. Hope this works!
