  • Motion Tracker data to Puppet tool pins?

    Posted by Randy Burleson on February 15, 2008 at 5:45 pm

    I can’t figure out how to transfer the motion tracker data to one of the puppet tool pins.
    I was wanting to try to do a motion capture of sorts, and apply it to 2D stick figure using the puppet tool.
    If I could map a tracker for every puppet tool pin it might make the animation a lot easier.

    Apply your motion tracker data to a Null and then use an expression such as:


    l = thisComp.layer("Null"); //The Null layer with motion tracked data applied
    fromWorld(l.toWorld(l.anchorPoint)); //Convert the Null's world position to layer position

    On the pin that corresponds to the Null. The bummer is that you’ll need a separate Null and a separate expression (referencing the correct Null) for each pin.
