How can I do this effect with a Kinect V1? It doesn't have the option to activate the color point cloud ):
@DeanCheesman5 күн бұрын
You can do something similar by just filtering out the depth map and assigning uv values with a regular old uv map (red and green gradients).

When I drag the null to my feedback_pos (14:50 in video) I get a yellow screen with nothing to see, what's the problem?
@DeanCheesman6 күн бұрын
It means your uv values keep going up. Probably something in your optical flow feedback. Either that network isn’t a 32 bit float network (allowing negative numbers) or your values are not strong enough/weak enough to come back towards zero when nothing is happening. A simple reset of your feedback loops might also fix the problem if you haven’t done that.

Very well made! I am facing an issue with light that doesn't have any effect when I turn on shadows. Any idea?
@DeanCheesman6 күн бұрын
A few potential things. The light has a “cone” so if it’s not facing your objects at an angle you won’t get shadows. Also sometimes you might need to pump up intensity. Also if there is competing light you might need to pull other intensity values down.

I'm a Machine Learning professional who was planning to do blob tracking in code, until I learned it is possible in TD. I did the usual beginner tutorials but this is my first end to end project. This video is fantastic and I could replicate your work. Having you explain clearly why you were doing each step was a big help for me too. It made sure that I wasn't just copying steps, but learned why I was doing each step. You are a real teacher. Keep up the amazing work.

UV (uv) attributes can be created with the Texture SOP. (/project1/render1)] i wonder if there is something i missed on the step :( Thanks again for this valuable video tutorial nonetheless !!

I'm trying to instance rectangles with the width and height of each character but don't know code enough to get those values from the update start position script
