Question

Arms not moving with webcam

Hi

I downloaded the Free version of the Dudley puppet (from Electro Puppet). Arms and legs do not move. I can drag them correctly with my mouse. But I am unable to make them move with my webcam. Nothing occurs when I move my arms. I calibrate my webcam several times. 

I do not find the green part where I have to pin the parts of the shouders and legs. How can I do if when I dragg the shoulder point no green part appears?

Thanks
Best

Japanese was converted to English using translation software.

To move limbs with the webcam, you need to use the “Body Tracker” function.
I think this is because the Dudley Puppet is an older puppet and does not have that function as standard.
If you want to add that function yourself, this video will be helpful.
Thanks.

Hi

thanks for your reply. Arms are moving now but not the legs. Don't understand why… Could it be because feet are fixed?
Thanks I will look at the video but I think I did all that already.

Dudley Puppet does not have finely rigged feet.
See Chloe for a sample puppet.
Her feet are finely tagged.
The Dudley Puppet will not move unless its feet are tagged in the same way.

Thank You.
