Is possible to get a good tack from this shot.
Posted by Christian Vilderman on January 7, 2016 at 1:31 amHi
I need to change the numbers on this bus.
Is it possible to get a good track?

That video appears to be private right now. Can you change the view settings?

I’d use Mocha for my first try, since it’s a planar tracker, it should have a pretty easy time with this. If it has problems, you could try a 4 corner motion track in After Effects. I think it’s gonna be more difficult to change the numbers and keep the reflection.

Thanks for taking a look.
I ended up getting a decent corner pin in mocha.
Regarding reflections can you give me any advice on achieving that?
Cheers

January 7, 2016 at 8:08 pmIt’s tough. I’d probably just put a black solid over the old letters with the new numbers over it (obviously color corrected to match) and just line up the background with the border already there, ignoring the shadows. Kinda pretending that section isn’t reflective. If that looks weird, I’d make the numbers a little smaller and feather the edge of that background solid so the line between reflections and non-reflections isn’t so obvious. If both of those are simply completely unacceptable, you could try and copy the reflections from the area around the numbers and manually animate them over the numbers while it’s close and kinda fade that out as it gets farther away. That last option is a lot of work to get it to look correct and is probably unnecessary.
