• /Applications/Blender.app/Contents/Resources/3.0/python/bin/pip3 install opencv-python mediapipe protobuf --target=/Applications/Blender.app/Contents/Resources/3.0/python/lib/python3.9

Troubles and solutions

Blender3 + Python3.10 on OSX: numpy.core._multiarray_umath

• /Applications/Blender.app/Contents/Resources/3.0/python/bin/pip3 install numpy --target=/Applications/Blender.app/Contents/Resources/3.0/python/lib/python3.9 --upgrade

Blender3 + Python3.10 on OSX: mediapipe.python._framework_bindings

• /Applications/Blender.app/Contents/Resources/3.0/python/bin/pip3 install mediapipe --upgrade --target=/Applications/Blender.app/Contents/Resources/3.0/python/lib/python3.9

Blender crash on connect to the camera:

• 

• 

  Method 1: in Finder go to /Applications/Blender.app/Contents/MacOS/ click right click and Open in Terminal Method 2: in Terminal run /Applications/Blender.app/Contents/MacOS/Blender

  

Camera setup:

• -1 Linux
• 0 (Windows, Osx build-in "laptop", Linux)
• 1 (Osx iPhone)

Docs

Stream: Now you can connect to any stream camera using "JMPEG" format or RTSP stream. For simple camera stream I recomend to use ESP32 - Arduino > Examples > ESP32 > Camera > CameraWebServer - esp32cam-rtsp - esp32cam-example1 - esp32cam-example2

MediaPipe: - MediaPipe Documentation

Credits

forked from BlendyPose by Zonkosoft

BlendyPose is made using MediaPipe, OpenCV

Nicholas Renotte provided some Mediapipe knowledge.

Anton Sychev contribute and update code for run on Mac OSX

weixin_44834086 demonstrated how to downgrade protobuf, which makes mediapipe compatible with Blender 3 and up!

TODO

[x] modal notify of errors or no possibility to connect
[] save processed data to file
[] load data from processed file 

[x] separate methods mediapipe to file
[] add yolo engine
[x] add selector for preview -> original size video input | 800x600 | other resize

Knowledge of bugs

BUG: [x] prevent crash on intent to connect to camera (osx) [x] prevent crash on intent to connect to stream [] capture is deformed on vertical axie
