Animated Augmented Reality with 3D Model?

in General Discussion • Other • 1 year ago

Hi there,

I'm relatively new to processing, still in school and am taking a 3D modelling class. I'm using 3ds Max to model in my class. And for one of my assignments I was thinking of making a series of augmented reality models, characters. The concept is not completely developed yet because I'm still figuring out the mechanics for this project.

So far, I've been looking at different tutorials, etc. Some with Processing and AR in general, some with 3D models and Processing. But I haven't been able to figure out a way to combine AR with animated 3D models using Processing. I know that this is a bit of a round about way of combining AR with 3Ds Max (because there are plugins for that already). But I feel like this is something interesting to invest some time in, since it might lead to some flexibility with experimentation later on. Anyways, I was wondering if anyone had any ideas, comments, etc on this topic?

Cheers!
Maggie

hello,

quarks has a program to load models from Quake's MD2 file format.

see

or

just search walking

but I don't get your goal yet.

AR means you film a street or motor with a mobile device (android?) and the devide blends in additional information.
Do you plan the usage of a camera? Or do you just take a static image?

But where comes the figure / model in?

Or is it runnig down the street then?

Do you plan 2D or 3D?

Also check out what formats 3ds Max can export and what processing can import via libraries.

Greetings, Chrisir

Hey chrisir,

Thanks for the reply. To give you more of an idea of what i'm trying to achieve. I'm trying to, for now, achieve ar using markers and a webcam. Later, I want to consider using a phone.

I think my problem right now is, I'm stuck because I don't know how I can import a 3d animation into processing. The only way i've found is using an OBJ sequence. Which I don't know how to export with 3ds max.

I'm not sure if this is clear, but thanks!

Did you look at the libraries:

http://processing.org/reference/libraries/#import_export

I don't know what 3ds max can export.
