    Hi!

    I’m about to work on a music video clip and I was wondering how I can add bodypainting art or tattoos on a body, like ‘Blade’ in exemple into the Blade movies ?
    I’ve seen so far a lot of really good tutorials on this website but I can’t find nothing about bodypainting and how to keep the paints tracked on the body if the camera is moving around the him into a 3d environment ?

    thanks,
    Chris

    The “3d environment” could rule out using AE’s Motion Tracker (there are work-arounds, but very time consuming). I’d start looking at Mocha.

    thanks… mocha is expensive to try out but seems powerful. I guess it would be more painless to just do real body painting at this time 🙂

    I just bought few books to introduce myself into maya and also cinema 4D… Does those softwares have integrated 3d tracking tools or you still need an external/3rd parties one like mocha to track your data ?
