Help me!!!!!

When i am importing my texture into blender (version 2.5)

and clicking "Run Script" an error window pop up what says:

"Python Script fail, look in the console for now".

When the window pop up Blender mark the place in my text where it´s written

"scene.set_frame(1)".

What am I doing wrong pleace help me!

@Miatpi I have gotten through this problem many many times. The 2.5 version of Blender doesn't support the voodoo python script anymore. The other way around is a bit more complex so here is what to do: Open blender 2.49 and import the python script from there, then save it as a project file. Now open blender 2.5 and import that 2.49 project file into the blender 2.5 and your tracking data (point clouds, etc) should be in the blender 2.5 program the rest is history from that point.

sorry, another question... how do you chop up every keyframe?

[Filmaker92]

I made a tutorial about that. Here is the link:

[22561morty]

how do you get that voodoo program?

[Filmaker92]

You type in google "voodoo motion tracking" click on the first link then when your at the website click on download.

When I run Python Script it says theres a console error and it highlights import mathutils why does this happen and how do i fix it?

[pwnage2own]

For people having problems using Blender 2.57, you can fix your script here (the one generated by Voodoo):

h tt p:// sta tic. wikeo. be/files / 15209 /voofoofixer . swf

^ (remove spaces in middle)

1. Remove all text on the top field

2. Paste your script and press fix

3. Select all and go replace with the new script in Blender

@Offy284 Yeah, this was a while ago, but google 'voofoofixer' and the third link you see which starts with the title 'Camera Tracked Rocket' click on that, read over that forum thread it might by useful. I've actually moved on to using Cinema 4D and have yet to try matchmoving with Cinema 4D with a tracker.

@pwnage2own Link is down!

I've done what you said to do but when you go back into 3d view (After you imported the python script) I can't see any of those black tracking points/dots... Any help?

[Miatpi]

@Miatpi

Thanks for your help and you answered so fast.

I have istalled blender 2.49 now and Python-2.7.2

but it still doesn´t work.

This time Blender mark "Import Mathutils".

[chill3n456]

I have a problem, when ever I try to run a pynthon script, it says error. Also, I tried installing Sucidiator, and have no idea what I'm doing wrong? Do you think you can help me?
