Hi 89Hardy…

As far as I can tell, the link above is working, and the downloaded package compiles.

Hey Bill,
amazing tut. Your link for full Xcode project of a simple ‘example game’ that demonstrates the use of node controllers for both auto-rotation and device camera overlay does not work. Please look into it.
You’re doing great.
Thanks.

Hi Dragon…

I’m not sure. We haven’t looked at it from that perspective, so I can’t give you much advice on that.

Hi, I’m new to cocos3d and cocos2d, and my question is if there is a way to get the camera input image by image, because I need to perform face recognition and not just show it in the background of the object. Thanks!

Thanks, Nick. This framework is still used by cocos3d. In a future release of cocos3d, we'll update it to make use of something along the lines of cocos2d's RootController. ...Bill

Hi Bill,

This is a great tutorial! I was wondering if you were planning on updating it to coincide with the latest developments of Cocos2D? The auto-rotation is no longer an issue, and now there is a UIViewController (RootViewController).

Thanks!

Hi Paul... Sorry for the delay. I was out and about over the long weekend. I don't think this framework is going to help you overlay video file playback. The camera picker controller is generally for recording only, not playback. However...you may be able to combine cocos2d with the standard movie playing UIViews. There are a few articles in the cocos2d forum that discuss combining cocos2d with UIViews. Also...riq has written about the subject a bit here and Frogblast here. Sorry I couldn't be more help. Good luck... ...Bill

Hi Bill,

I want to do something similar to the camera overlay, but rather than overlaying the camera, I was hoping to overlay a movieplayer view… does that seem reasonable, or is that not going to work?

Thanks,

Paul

@Rob

Thanks for pointing that out. I can see how it might be confusing. I've updated this article to clarify that point.
