Model target not recognized

By bflynn882 on Tue, 03/20/2018 - 00:54

Hello,

I've been trying to use model targets to track a guitar using a 3d model of a guitar I found online. I'm not sure if this particular 3d model would work but I don't have any 3d scanners lying around to make a 3d model of my guitar, so I used a model online that closely resembles my guitar. Is it possible to use a pre-existing 3d model that someone else created as my model target or do I have to create my own? When I use vuforia play mode to test, nothing appears over my guitar. I'll post a screenshot of my unity page to see if I'm doing something wrong. Chances are I am because I'm relatively new to vuforia and ar in general. Thanks a lot.

Hello bflynn882,

If the guitar model you found online doesn't have the exact same geometry that your physical guitar has, you may have issues (or just not be able to) detect the guitar.

Hello,

Thank you so much for the reply! I tried using a 'Stronger' object with better lighting and it works really well !

Thanks
