Won’t show up in blender

I tried to install the plugin on multiple versions of blender and none of them work, it wouldn’t show up on the side bar like the other addons. I use m1max MacBook. Please fix it.

Response from developer

Hi, please carefully follow the instructions that you will find in the VirtuCamera webpage, make sure you are loading the zip file and not the unzipped folder (if you are using Safari it may be unzipping it automatically). Also make sure you are using the correct plugin version depending on your official Blender version. Please give us a good review when you manage to install it. If you still have issues contact us at contact@virtucamera.com

Joystick

App is amazing! Please just add a joystick so you could navigate without actually having to walk and it will be absolutely perfect!

Response from developer

Thanks Tyler, the joysticks will come in the pro tier very soon :)

Honestly not the same as the old app

If you disconnected by swiping off the screen or just by lagging off which happens way more than on the old one , you wouldn't be able to get back in unless you refreshed the app and blender scene and rescanned it also dosent have movement inplamented into the camera it's only like 360 turn around and up and down but you can move forward or back or side to side with your phone like the old app the app is extremely laggy

Response from developer

Hi, thanks for your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear you had a frustrating experience. Just as in v1 you can reconnect using the bookmark to avoid having to scan the QR again. Regarding movement tracking, it's supported as well, but probably need to adjust the scene scale in Settings (or with the scale slider) to match your Blender scene, same as in v1. As for the lag, that can sometimes happen with very heavy scenes, but we haven’t seen it reported as a common issue. If you’d like, feel free to contact us at contact@virtucamera.com with your device and scene details, and we’ll be happy to help.

The Perfect Camera Animation Tool

This plug-in is an essential part of my camera animation pipeline. I used to have to bring my scenes from cinema 4D into blender just because the plug-in only worked there but now that there’s also a new version for 4D I really couldn’t ask for anything More. Ability to just quickly connect my iPhone to my cinema for scene and watch back my animation in real time as I animate the camera is just an incredible ability to have that I couldn’t even imagine being a thing even a few years ago! Would highly recommend this plug-in anyone needing naturalistic camera movement in their scenes

Works in blender on Mac, windows still broken

Fantastic tool! I enjoyed version 1 in blender and have been awaiting the sequel to this app for years. They included the ability to navigate frames one by one, and the interface as a whole is very simple and easy to use.

The windows blender plugin is currently not working in 5.1 (or even earlier versions), but I’m sure they will be resolved soon. For now I’ve tested the app on a Mac and it works just fine after granting permissions for screen recording and device discovery.

I hope in time they add the ability to assign custom buttons on the phone interface that talk to the plugin, enabling execution of custom python scripts. Once the windows plugin for blender is fixed I’m definitely going to bump my review to 5 stars.
