[SOLVED] Tracker not working any more?


photo

Recommended Posts

Somehow, the tracker functionality is completely broken.
It is not possible to animate any more. The input fields in the tracker window are broken, I only can input numbers when the mouse is in the engine window.
It doesnt set keys any more when animating objects etc.

Can someone pls tell me the status quo of the tracker. 
We do need to animate and atm its a real mess.

Thx.

Okay.

I have created a cuboid.
Added position in tracker. 

The first keys are created.

Then basically nothing works. I cant move the cuboid any more. 

The only thing i can do is, to create keys at a specific time by clicking the axis components (x or y) and then enter a value numerically JUST in the tracker itself.

The interaction with the viewport seems NOT working any more.
I can NOT enter values in the Node Parameters (position). 

Double clicking existing keyframes does NOT bring up interface (keyframe properties).

Basically its not possible to use the tracker anymore and to animate.

If I am missing something or I do handle it wrong, pls let me know. Otherwise I am pretty frustrated... We need to rely on the animation functionality quite heavily.
 

As well we are using our own tracker implementation. Thats even worse. This interface doesnt react any more as long as the mouse cursor is NOT over the ENGINE viewport. I cant even enter values if not in the engine viewport. Our programmer reported that issue half a year ago. (thats something with the interface).

Hi Werner,

Thanks for the report!

This problem in tracker is fixed already, so as a hotfix for the issue, please unpack the attached archive into data/ directory of your current sdk/project.

Hello,

so, this hotfix updates the 'keyframe parameters'.

The other issues still exist.
One very difficult thing is, that objects do not react on changes in the viewport any more.
So pos, rot, scale cant be changed, once an animatable track has been added to the tracker.

The tracker is a good tool, but I guess it needs deep rework. As far as I can remember that was planned way back. Is there any priority on the roadmap?
Anyway, I really appreciate all the improvements for the Editor. 
Still a lot of interfaces issues makes it a bit difficult to work with.

Please keep up the work on the Editor!

Thanks.

Werner

Actually the tracker is broken, still.

Now I cant even set keys.... Look at the sunlight temperature!

But that seems to be a different issue:

Btw.

This colour interface is terrible.

It is slow, and becomes slower somehow (to open it up).

And it is not intuitive to work with. (It suxx in Windows as well!!)

Y not taking the Photoshop colour chooser as a template?

Werner,

I feel your pain, bro :( That's default color picker from Qt and it's not best as you already noticed. All that issues are known and if we will have some additional time before the next release we will surely take a look into it and rewrite if possible.

Sunlight temperature issues looks like a small bug in tracker parameters, will take a look at it tomorrow.

Thanks!

Hi Werner,

Here are some fixes for tracker: 
    - fix for the positioning for the key in viewport;
    - fix for colorTemperature track;
    
Unpack the attached archive to data/ folder to get the fixes.
    
As for other requests, we'll add them to our internal bug tracker, but I'm afraid, currently, we can't give any ETA for tracker improvements.

Thanks!
