  • Object on tracking data not working (floating)

    Posted by Shaun Myatt on September 3, 2012 at 5:49 am

    The process is this, and its got me stumped.

    Ive used Boujou to create tracking data on my footage
    I entered the correct sensor size/Lens correction etc etc
    I created a Decent solid Track and tested it with a test object
    I have also tried this with both camera tracker 1.0 and 3d tracker CS6
    I had the right Fps and Always check it for changes whilst swapping programs.
    I put my Tracking data into AE as well as my footage (the exported one from Boujou as its bigger than original)
    I then have 2 nulls the track camera and the footage..

    so far so good..

    I then create a solid-open element-create a model-and click ok
    The model is nowhere near the null so i undo the pick whip to the null and copy across the position data to the particle replicator x,y,z
    The object then goes to the null-i then re-size via element as its massive. if need be i make another null and use that to adjust the height etc etc.

    I then delete that null, as its not now needed.

    at this point i track through the clip, and the X and Y track data works, the object does not bounce at all, but the Z axis is screwed and my object floats along the plane similar to the camera WHY is this??? I’m sure i have done everything correctly.
    shot is a basic pan, no Zoom, fixed 35mm the object refuses to stay on the correct z plane as seen here:(remove the stars from link) w*w*w.youtube.com/user/mrshaun2k?feature=mhee any idea’s, i have noticed a couple of people having similar issues

    Hi Shaun, did you find a solution? I am having the same issues using camera tracker 1.0.

    Thanks,

    Ciaran
