Bugs and requests
CamTrackAR
Reported bugs
3 issues- Camera is not attached to the path when exported to fbx
- The app record button is stuck on grey and can't shoot video. It's useless unless I can shoot something. I managed to shoot one test before the app failed and it worked fine. I hope the make a fix that will enable users to track using other video apps on the phone and /or connect to more pro cameras
- I don't know if others have had the same problem but when I open the app there is only a black screen if done everything like uninstall- restarting my phone. Am I doing something wrong?
