Maya 2023, VCCore src missing

Hey

I wanted to recompile VCCore.pyd file for new python/maya 2023, but I can't find source for it.

Can you please provide the file or compiled version so we can try it with 2023?

[Feature Request] App buttons on the left and right side as well as thumbstick widgets.

Hi.

We love that we can configure app buttons using Python and MEL script callbacks. Based on our tests so far, we feel that having the buttons to the left and right of the app window would provide better user experience. Is this something in the roadmap?

Thank you,
Satish

Blender 2.8?

This app is awesome. Is there any plans for blender 2.8? As well as any Android roadmap? Please give this idea to wide perspective to the 3D artists

Support for Cinema4D and others..?

Hi, are you still trying to support other dcc tools in the near future? Would love to hear your thoughts and timeline on this...

Cheers,
Lasse

Issues with streaming to the app

Hello.

Lately we have been encountering issues. Here is a description from the artist (Windows 10, Mac OS)

Maya is unable to sort what viewport to utilize and flickers on and off, and I have nothing on my iPad. It's a black screen. I also get a crossed out eye icon in the upper corner of the viewport. I'm able to drive the camera within Maya because the one thing that is consistent is that I get a small virtuCamera port floating free and am able to adjust the camera with my iPad so the tracking it working....

We see the following error in the script editor

Any idea why this seems to happen once in a while?

Thank you,

Plugin does not work with Maya 2024

Maya 2024 uses Python 3.10.8

3.10.8 (v3.10.8:aaaf517424, Oct 11 2022, 10:14:40) [Clang 13.0.0 (clang-1300.0.29.30)]

UTF-8 codec can't decode byte

Hi.

First of all - thank you for an amazing app. I can't live without it now:)

And for that reason, it hurts to see this:

// Error: file: C:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2022/scripts/others/pluginWin.mel line 316: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xb3 in position 13: invalid start byte // // Warning: file: C:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2022/scripts/others/pluginWin.mel line 316: Failed to run file: C:/Users/UserName/Documents/maya/2022/plug-ins/virtuCameraMayaPlugin.py // // Error: file: C:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2022/scripts/others/pluginWin.mel line 316: (virtuCameraMayaPlugin) //

Is it something in the code or something with my computer only?

Thank you!
