Hello Roy, I watched your videos today about your invention - SimmTrace. I am a professional artist and I think that SimmTrace could be a wonderful tool for transferring some of my complex perspective designs – made with Blender – onto paper. I downloaded the file and installed it. Immediately, my ant-virus warned me that the package contained two Trojan horses! When I tried to actually use the program, my anti-virus once again swung into action and stopped the program working all together. I will re-install the program again this evening and deactivate my anti-virus (Avast) . I thought that you should know about this, because I am sure other people will come across the same problem. My best wishes to you, Ian
Thanks Ian for the heads up, I have scanned all files with latest AVG, I dont have Avast, but have found some mention on forums for false positives with VirtualDub, the open source program that is used to display the webcam image.
I will do a further post about the issue when I can experiment more.
Update: Just heard from Ian, all working for him. He had to turn off hardware acceleration for transparency to work. I will produce documentation and 'faq' file asap.
Update:: May be because of compressing a compressed installation file. I am looking into hosting the .exe directly. Anyone having probs contact me and I will send e-mail with file attached.
