@yogesh -- are you asking about v0.5? all versions of FLARManager are free for non-commercial use, and v0.4 and v0.5 are available for commercial use for a fee. please see the section on licensing on this page for more info.

Eric..thanks for this excellent class. Just wanted to check if this is still free to use for the non-commercial purposes?

@ric: nope, the ascollada package are not missing from the FLARManager distro, i chose to leave them out. it’s a big enough download as-is (see grumpy comment from peter above), and one of the main points of FLARManager is that it’s decoupled from PV3D. including the ascollada package would take it further in the other direction.

Bug / missing files with DAE and build v041?

First off, thanks a ton for FLARManager, it’s great.

Not sure if this is a bug, or I’m doing something wrong. I’m a N00B with much of this, but I was having fits trying out FLARManager with loading a DAE.

I was trying to build the DAE example above (thanks Harley) by modifying the FLARManagerExample_PV3D example file from the 0.41 build, but couldn’t compile as I was getting tons of errors from DAE.as.

I finally realized the 0.41 zip package is missing the ascollada folder in the org directory. Once I added that (copied over from my FLARToolKit project folder) and it works a treat.

Now to figure out why my model’s textures aren’t showing up when they do in FLARToolKit…

Anyway, thanks again!

performance should be about the same as previous versions. FLARManager is pretty lightweight; it’s FLARToolkit that will be the performance bottleneck, and FLARToolkit hasn’t really changed since saqoosha released it back in november. the FP9 version would in theory be *slightly* slower than the FP10 version, as it uses Arrays instead of Vectors, but i can’t imagine there would be any noticeable difference as the Arrays and Vectors in question are both very small.

one change that makes performance feel better is a little bit of matrix smoothing. it really does clean things up a bit. however, that’s really just a stopgap measure until FLARToolkit gets some improvements (using PixelBender / Alchemy) that allow it to do subpixel outline detection: http://groups.google.com/group/flartoolkit-userz/msg/e3da8c2257daf970

Eric! Great work man, good to see all the new features.

Nice move that you are licesing the FLARmanager.

Can you say something about the performance? Compared to for example 0.3.. or a Flash Player 9 version?
