From your device
to your virtual camera.

Use the same settings on both sides. Start with camera drive off, then verify that tracking reaches your receiver.

  1. 01 / CONNECT

    Join the same network.

    Connect your iPhone or iPad and the Cinema 4D computer to a network where they can reach each other. Allow local-network access when prompted.

  2. 02 / MATCH

    Point to your receiver.

    Enter the computer’s LAN IPv4 address in OpenCam Tracker. In Michele Virtual Production Studio, open Live tracking and match the UDP port and Camera ID.

  3. 03 / ALIGN

    Check, align, then move.

    Start sending and look for valid tracking in the receiver’s receipt log. Park the device, align to the virtual camera, then enable Drive camera from tracker.
