Or use one week of trial to make sure Byplay suits your need. If you simply want it to be free, I’m sorry. But why two stars? ### 5/5 — Great App for camera tracking *2024-05-10* This app is superb, lots of options and links great with Blender. Scan your scene, upload your video, once it’s done download via the PC app, and the Blender plug in sorts everything for you - scene set up ready to go 👍👌 ### 5/5 — It works! *2023-10-16* Love the desktop app integration, such a smooth process for VFX and 3D tracking ### 5/5 — Very solid track! Easy to use! *2023-10-11* This app is insanely easy to use! It’s nice to have a powerful motion tracker in my pocket for shooting video on the fly. The track is as solid as any desktop software I’ve used. The description says it is intended to be used with C4D and Blender but I can confirm that it worked for me in Maya as well. The FBX came in at the proper scale and orientation and the ground planes were in the right place. Smooth and solid! ### 5/5 — Best Camera Tracking App - Hands Down! *2023-10-08* I have used a lot of camera tracking apps in the past and this is by far the best app that I have come across is definitely worth the price of admission and I can’t say enough good things about the developers and the progress that they are making! Keep it up, saved me hours of tracking time over the last few weeks! ### 2/5 — five seconds trial not enough *2023-02-21, version 1.0.8* five seconds trial not enough **Developer response:** You’re welcome to buy subscription and enjoy unlimited recording time. Or use one week of trial to make sure Byplay suits your need. If you simply want it to be free, I’m sorry. But why two stars? ### 2/5 — Needs a better trial *2022-03-23* I'm fully supportive of a Dev trying to make money on their app and requiring a subscription or purchase after a free download. But 5 seconds is not enough time.. I can barely point and turn the camera within 5 seconds. Consider updating to 10seconds so we can try enough movement to gauge if it's the output is good enough to use for the future. **Developer response:** We have updated to 10 seconds! ### 5/5 — Отлично! *2021-02-12, version 1.0.6* Отличное приложение! Хотелось бы больше настроек для камеры: разрешение изображение 4К и настройка fps (24, 25 и 60) ### 2/5 — it’s ok. *2021-01-25* it’s ok for tracking. my major complaint is only 5 seconds recording time. you could record longer than 5 seconds with iphone camera and track it in blender with better results. 2/5 stars **Developer response:** We have increased it to 10 seconds! ### 5/5 — 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 *2020-10-23, version 1.0.1* All work perfectly! ## Frequently asked questions about Byplay Camera ### What is Byplay Camera?
