Hey,
I have a similar problem to Rogier.. basically reproducing samples from places can create problems. I have found that have a large marker (taking up most of the webcam area) will significantly improve FPS.. (to around 30fps) but if you have a large, complex background.. even just your face is enough to drop the framerate (for me around 8-12) on some projects. This is a real problem and I hope for some optimisation of the code to allow us to expand our horizons

Good luck augmenting your reality.

@ Rogier
In the demo I’m using a sphere with a bitmap texture from the library:

var materialEarth :BitmapAssetMaterial = new BitmapAssetMaterial( “Earth” );
var sphere2: Sphere = new Sphere(materialEarth,50,20);
sphere2.z = 100;
sphere2.rotationX = 45;
sphere2.yaw( -30 );

The pc I used is a Dell Optiplex, 2 core 2.66GHz 2GB of RAM.

Hope that clears it up, I can post the source if needed just let me know

I saw that the frame rate was between the 20 and 30 fps. I almost have the same model only mine is playing at 7 fps. I have a hp XW 9400 with 20GB of Ram
:S So how do you that?

Glad I could help. I’m working on some FlarToolkit stuff again so look out for some posts coming soon.
