3D Image Tracking

What I am trying to do is get lens studio to track an image that is not perfectly flat. The image is on a minimally curved surface, think a graphic on a t-shirt. I am able to get lens studio to recognize the image marker, but only with limited effectiveness. The animation seems to flip and change orientation erratically.

Am I missing something? Or is there a another way to track images on curved surfaces?

    Hi Jacob!

    Marker tracking is intended for tracking images that are on relatively flat surfaces (think cards, posters, screens, etc). While you may get a marker to track across a curved surface (like a soda can, for example) occasionally, you'll find that to be much less reliable, as you're experiencing.

    You might want to try changing the marker to be a cropped section of the image you intend to use - an area that you're confident won't be distorted by a curved surface.

    Best,

    Peter
