How to track the bloat effect
Posted by Patrick Morrow on March 2, 2013 at 11:18 pmI wanted to animate someones eyes bloating out but I need to know how to track the eyes. I thought I knew how but everything I try does not work and the bloat effect stays in one place, not good. Please advise.
Thanks,

Then, for completeness, let us know how you went about with the tracking routine – what you tracked, which software you used, what settings you used etc.

I just want the bolated eyes to track the eyes in After Effects so they will follow the movement. -

March 3, 2013 at 4:51 amYou have issues knowing how to track – never mind the bloated eyes for now. The required workflow to achieve what you want is two-fold –
1) track eyes
2) apply tracking data to bulge effect (or similar effect)If you can’t do (1) then you obviously will not be able to accomplish (2).
Please re-read my initial reply and provide the necessary information if you want specific assistance. Otherwise, you should take a look at the many tracking tutorials here at the COW.

As Roland has said, You should provide more info about the shot.
Though, Have a look at this tutorial:
