FreeTrack Forum

Hi all,

I hit the reset config file, and now I cannot get freetrack to work again.  Used to work fine.

I made myself a 3-point cap, and I'm using a VX-3000 camera that I took the filter out of and put in some film negative as a light filter.

Problem is when I fire up the camera, I don't get 3 red dots anymore, I get a washed-out camera image.

Also at the bottom of my camera screen there are some bar artifacts.

Here is my setup:



I can't figure out how to get a black screen with 3 dots again.

Any help?

Hi,

This is what I should do if I was you:

1) check if you webcam works with the normal software.
2) check with somethingelse if you 3 point cap is working.
    I use  the cam of my cellphone to see if I see three dots  to check.
Well, if your cam and cap are working properly it is some setting in freetrack  .
I use the same cam so if it is realy a freetracking setting problem I will provide the settings I use.
Did you also check the controltab in freetrack?I had myself a few times problems that  I turned something of or on by accident.
By the way, what type of leds do you use?
(You removed the ir filter so they are probably ir leds)

Hi,

make sure with the two points of Stormriders list, that webcam works.
Otherwise reinstall your cam-drivers and Freetrack.

In cam settings:
- put some contrast (1/3)
- hue to zero
- disable white balance auto and exposure auto (if you can).
- you need at least some min. exposure
- then play with brightness to get a good image.

...this is what I need for my logitech.
