Tracker

a Tracker represent a real tracker and is part of a Tracking System To visualize tracked points using a tracking device Read More

Created inside a Tracking System To visualize tracked points using a tracking device Read More this object allows you to get back the datas sent by a Tracking Control Device Use any external controllers such as MIDI or OSC, DMX, and ArtNet Read More ( Stype Tracking system Use a Stype tracking system Read More or Blacktrax Device Blacktrax Tracking System Read More for examples)

Manual vs Auto Creation

You can manually create trackers by right-clicking on the Tracking System To visualize tracked points using a tracking device Read More if you do not have any devices plugged into your Smode or if this Device do not send values to it.
But the best is to directly get the datas into your Smode, or use a software to simulate an entry of datas because trackers do not only receive and transmit position and orientation values
For Example, the tracking protocol of a Stype Tracking system Use a Stype tracking system Read More transmit optical distortion to Smode, that can then be used by a Physical Camera A camera that simulate a real-one Read More to fit the reality.
Examples of datas provided by a Stype Tracking system Use a Stype tracking system Read More :

Use datas of a tracker

As usual, you are free to create link from any values of a tracker.
But keep in mind that there is the specific Link To Tracker Placement relative to tracker Read More that make the job easier.
For any 3D Generator The 3d generator of a 3D Layer represents a source of geometry. Read More

Parameters

  • Correction Position (3D Position) : allows you to offset the Position of the object linked to the Tracker with a Link To Tracker Placement relative to tracker Read More
  • Correction Orientation (Euler Angles) : allows you to offset the Orientation of the object linked to the Tracker with a Link To Tracker Placement relative to tracker Read More
