    Where is the .pat file saved? I’ve done all the steps but, when I click the “saved” button it dosn’t appear.
    Thanks

  2. Josh says:

    Can you confirm if the .pat files work with the FLARToolKit as well? Thanks.

    Hi Josh,

    Is it also possible to make the video 1600*1200 px so that I can use thatr resolution instead of 640*480.

    Hi Tarotarorg, i´ve tried to use your source code of your marker generator with flex builder 3. I´m new to flex and i got some error if i try to compile. Do you have a workspace of your work online to download. Do you use some extra files for this project. I have already downloaded everything in http://www.libspark.org/svn/as3/ARToolKitMarkerGenerator/trunk. Or do you have some important advises for an absolute beginner like me?

    Hi, am.

  25. Marcos says:

    Hi,
    I’m very new to AR and ARToolkit.
    I have used the tool to create the .pat file and downloaded it to my computer. Thanks!

    Now… How do I use this file to change my marker??

    Thanks for any hints. :)

  26. tarotarorg says:

    Hi, Marcos.

    You can use your new marker instead of “patt.hiro”.

  29. Felix says:

    Hi,tarotarorg:

    I try to compile the source code from http://www.libspark.org/svn/as3/ARToolKitMarkerGenerator/trunk, but Flex Builder 3 report an error exist in a line of “FLARCodeViewPanel.mxml”:

    this._saveFileReference.save(out, “marker” + this._code.getWidth() + “.pat”);

    it said the method “save” is an undefined one. I check the help of AS3 and find it is actually not a defined method of class “FileReference”, so where is the problem? Is this method your custom defind one? How can I correctly reference it and compile the whole programe?

    Thanks!

  30. tarotarorg says:

    Hi, Felix.

    Is your compile target FP9 ?
    FileReference#save is defined FP10.

    Hi, I’m having real difficulty getting this app to work for me. I have a marker of which 50% is made up of my unique pattern. I have tried uploading an image and using a web cam but neither option produces patterns that are recognised by FLAR. When I try saqoosha’s app with the same patterns, it works fine. I’d really like to use yours as I have made my markers 8 x 8 so that they will be seen better by camera…any idea what I am doing wrong?

    FYI I have tried using both 50% and 100% marker width settings…

    Hi,

    I’m a french student who want to devellop an augmented reality application. Have you got informations about FlarToolkit tutorial in english or french. I don’t speak japanese and it’s very hard to lesson how I can use FLARToolkit.

    I work on macbook 2,16 ghz with Flash CS3

    Thanks for all.

  33. Hello,
    I used your marker generator one month ago in order to create my own marker for some tries of FLARtoolkit. It worked fine at first time.
    However, I need to create a new marker for a client since a week, and I can’t do it working. I tried all settings of your application but nothing seems to work ! So, have you updated your generator, which could explain that it doesn’t work anymore (because of a possible error) ?
    And so, how could I create a new marker if I can’t use your application ?
    thanks for your reply.

    PS : you did a great work with this application ! Thanks for helping us using FLARtoolkit !

    Thank you.

  35. tarotarorg says:

    Hi, technodai.

    Sorry, I can’t help you.
    My generator is an improvement of Saqoosha’s.
    Marker detection algorithm is same as his.

    Thank you.

    Hello tarotaro! The generator marker online has a error when I click in the Save button. Are you know why it happening? I’m trying to Load a image to create an marker but when I select the marker and click in the Save button I get a error.

  45. makc says:

    Something has really changed since December 14th, 2008 – when I recompile this, marker pattern is 1) scaled wrong – you would need 0% to 100% range and markserSizeSlider.value * 0.1, not 5 – (markserSizeSlider.value / 20.0), in order to change FLARDynamicRatioColorPatt_O3 params from 0 to WK_WORLD_ADD (=10), as source expects it, – and 2) pattern is now turned 90 degrees for some reason.

    SVN logs for FLARDynamicRatioColorPatt_O3.as suggest that it was actually *YOUR* changes on February 23rd, so I dont think just waiving away people complaints about non-working code is fair from you. Please comment.

  46. tarotarorg says:

    Hi, makc.

    Thanks for your report.
    FLARDynamicRatioColorPatt_O3( in FLARToolKit) has changed.

    I fixed MarkerGenerator.

    Thank you.

  47. uni says:

    i could be really stupid but i printed out a pattern form another site and now i’m trying to use the tool to capture the image with camera selected, but the get pattern button never becomes active. what am i doing wrong? I have FP 10 and my webcam is working.
