  • Camera Track- Setting Object in Place

    Posted by Stephen Turcotte on March 16, 2011 at 4:35 pm

    I have imported camera tracking data from Boujou and everything seems to line up pretty closely.

    I’m having trouble placing an object in my scene with video background, it doesn’t seem to lock down in place although my tracking dots stay perfectly still.

    Is there a particular order that I need to place my layers? or layer that I should link my object to?

    Thanks in advance,

    Steve

    I don’t have the money for a program like Boujou personally and my job hasn’t yet seen a need to buy it, so I’m not familiar with it myself. However, most good 3d tracking programs give you a way to place a null object in the tracker and export it along with the camera data. Check your documentation.

    Thanks for the input. I haven’t found anything in Boujou that allows the user to do that, but I did try to place an object in the null of the tracking data in C4d and still no luck.
