Icarus/Voodoo scripts and blender 2.48

Coding Python Support

Hi guys,

Everyone’s saying that both scripts of these camera tracking apps are no longer working/compatible with blender 2.48. I tried running the script generated by Voodoo but the camera did not move according to the original footage, and in Icarus when using the option “Create curves” which added animation to the camera, the following error is reported:

File "C:\blender\install\win32-mingw\.blender\scripts\ICARUS_import241.py", li
ne 167, in MakeIpoCurves
    camobj_ipo = camobj.ipo
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'ipo'

Voodo may still have a chance of releasing a newer version, being a university project, but Icarus’ last script was written for blender 2.41 :frowning:

Any chances of “rescuing” these two motion tracking apllications’ integration with blender?

regards,
Alvaro

mmm, just tried Voodo in Linux and it worked fine…weird. Will recheck on windows. But Icarus is indeed reporting the error I posted above.

Icarus is an old program, What I do is, to use 2.41 to import the file from icarus, save the blend file, and later open it with the 2.48 and using it.

I know is not the best solution but I don’t have any other.

Yeh ive had this problem as well with 2.48. For some reason it imports the IPO for the camera strangly, some hundred frames away from 0.

Sounds like a good solution. Either that or just append the whole scene from the 2.41 file.

mmmm, ok, sounds like a good woraround :wink: Will try it out with blender 2.41. But it would be cool if someone could look into Icarus’ code and try to fix it.

I also tried out voodoo in windows and it’s (still) also working fine, so no problem on the voodoo side.

Downloading blender 2.41 now!
