Hi
I’m learning to use the voodoo tracking software and I’m having some problems and wondered if anyone could offer some advice.
When I go in blender and go to text editor to run the script it says ‘Python Script error: check console’
Do I ned to download anther version of python or something? Any help would be appreciated.
I’m using blender 2.49 and Voodoo 1.1.0 beta
Thanks
It is possible 1.1.0 is for Blender 2.5.x,
I can’t test just now but the Voodoo manual says:-
To display the image sequence as a backbuffer in Blender 2.4x, go to [Buttons Windows→Scene→Render Buttons→Output] and enter the file name of the image sequence in the “backbuf” field. A ‘#’ at the end of the file name is replaced by the current (four-digit) frame number. We tested the import with Blender Version 2.42a.
To display the image sequence in the viewport in Blender 2.5x and higher, go to [3D View→View→Properties→Background Images->Add Image]. Select “Camera” in the “Axis” field and “Sequence” in the “Source” field. You also must set the correct resolution and aspect ratio in [Properties→Render→Dimensions→], e.g., choose the “TV PAL 4:3” render preset for the provided examples. We tested the import with Blender Version 2.5.3 beta.

EDIT - Yep, I see what’s happened. When you export the Python script, check the dropdown to choose either 2.49 or 2.5.
2.5.x is the default, and I get the same error trying to open the 2.5.x script in Blender 2.49, whereas the script for 2.4.x works fine.
It is great that Voodoo is working now with 2.5, thanks for bringing it up 
Thanks for your help!
Hey I have a small problem with Voodoo & Blender 2.53 (using .53 because I don’t know how to make the exported .py-script to work with 2.54). For some reason when I run the python script I get the camera and all the dots to my scene BUT the camera doesn’t move at all. Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it? Thanks in advance!
this thread answered my question! i didnt realize I was saving the python script for 2.5x instead of 2.4x. It’s working now!
Another win for Blender Artists forums!
