WorkSpaceTool.setup(): error

Hi,
I Really loved the face capture video. But when I tried it with blender 2.81a, I got lots of errors. Might be because of python version and at the end even though I did tried everything I could do, on blender 2.81a when I run the python code on script, blender just closes and doesn't opens project. So I tried it with blender 3.1. But even though I get no error from code, When I clicked the OpenCV Animation Panel I get this error. Could you help me please?

Python OpenCV problem

I hope you could help me with a Python error message I didn't manage to resolve.

I followed your steps and had the following error message:

File "C:\Users\yrfri\Documents\Blender\vincent facial mocap\Vincent(1).blend\OpenCVAnimOperator.py", line 30, in
File "C:\Users\yrfri\Documents\Blender\vincent facial mocap\Vincent(1).blend\OpenCVAnimOperator.py", line 43, in OpenCVAnimOperator
cv2.error: OpenCV(4.5.1) C:\Users\appveyor\AppData\Local\Temp\1\pip-req-build-r2ue8w6k\opencv_contrib\modules\face\src\facemarkLBF.cpp:487: error: (-5:Bad argument) No valid input file was given, please check the given filename. in function 'cv::face::FacemarkLBFImpl::loadModel'

I'm using Blender 2.91, Python 3.9 on my computer and Python 3.77 for Blender. I tried the Blender Python version to run promlt as administrator.

Here is what I tried to do in order to resolve the issue:

• Updated or re-installed all applications (python, Blender...)

• followed the exchange on your Youtube:

• tried path name with \, /, "", '',

• tried to modify: self._cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0) into (1) and back to the original script.

• verified that the file size is 55.5MP

The error message is the same.
Any input would be highly appreciated, I',m really wish to experience your facial mocap.
thanks

Python Script and Capture Motion Failures Need Your Help

Thank you so much for your amazing job and detailed tutorial on Youtube!

I follow every steps carefully whilst unfortunately met some issues need your kind help if possible. Thanks very much in advance!

1. The first issue is "Python script failed" when running OpenCVAnim.py, please find the attached jpg files for details.
   
   

There is no further error message when running OpenCVAnimOperator.py,

2. The second issue occurred when the "capture" button is clicked, the screen shots are shown as the attached jpg files below:
   
   
   

One question: if I use the build-in webcam on my laptop, is the setting of "cv2" in the file "OpenCVAnimOperator.py" needs to be modified? {lease advise. Thanks!

I think it's better for you to figure the possible root causes out if the Vincent.blend file is attached here:
Vincent.zip

and the paths on my Laptop are listed below for your information:
D:\Blender_Practice\MotionCapture\GSOC2017-master
D:\Blender_Practice\MotionCapture\control-3d-character-using-python-master

Laptop System information:
Intel i7-8750H [email protected]
