CloudCompare forum

Hi,

I have just downloaded the windows zip of CloudCompare v2.5.0.
When running CloudCompare from it, I can not access any qKinect button in the "plugin" tab.
Where can I find it ?

Thanks,

JS

First, check that you have the 'QKINECT_PLUGIN_DLL.dll' file in the plugins folder of CloudCompare.

If yes, then look at the console when CC starts: is there any error message regarding plugins in general of this one in particular?

Eventually, to use qKinect you need to have libfreenect driver installed (see http://openkinect.org/wiki/Getting_Star ... stallation)

Yes you are right. I have the '.dll' file but there is an error when CC tries to load it. I am currently trying to install libfreenect (still some problems...). Is there any link with this problem concerning the loading of 'QKINECT_PLUGIN_DLL.dll' ?

I should have precise the error message. CC can not load 'QKINECT_PLUGIN_DLL.dll' since it is in the 'plugin' folder. The error is :
'Cannot load library .../plugins/QKINECT_PLUGIN_DLL.dll: Le module spécifié est introuvable.'
Is there a problem with QKINECT_PLUGIN_DLL.dll ? Is it well compiled ?
Thanks

In fact this message is sent by Qt when it fails to load a plugin. In this case it's because another DLL (probably one of libfreenect or libusb) couldn't be found. Therefore the plugin can't be dynamically loaded when CC starts. There shouldn't be any problem with the DLL itself.

Yes ! It works ! I just reinstalled the drivers as explained in http://openkinect.org/wiki/Getting_Star ... stallation
I think the previous installed drivers were those of PrimeSense...
Thanks again,
