This is so sick!!!

[@nelscanton4907]

Thank you ! Do you have maybe an idea why on windows there is a strong fps drop? I think It may come from my script that is actualized with the execute chop too fast but I can't figure out why it's working great on Mac and not on PC. Have you worked with Numpy array? thx

[@blankensmithing]

@@nelscanton4907 when are you expericing the frame drop? Also I'd recommend using the new MediaPipe plugin, which should be more optimized

[@vincentdesjardins8992]

Just tried it on Windows, as soon as I turned the GB onn my fps dropped at like 3-4. Neither of my gpu, cpu or memory is rushing. Anyway, thanks for the share!

[@nelscanton4907]

Sorry to hear that.. I specified in the Readme file that I tried it on Mac only. When I can find a Windows I will try to fix this problem. Could you give me the specs of your computer?

[@vincentdesjardins8992]

@@nelscanton4907 yeah no worries, that why i commented since you specfied testing on Mac, so i just wanted to let you know. Specwise : cpu: AMD ryzen 7 7735HS memory: 32gb Gpu: Nvidia GEFORCE RTX 4060 laptop version Thanks!!

@@vincentdesjardins8992 Thank you, I tried on a PC and I can't figure out what make the frames drops... I removed a few lines that let me get 20 fps but this is not stable. If I have a bit of time I ll build this project from scratch on a windows.
