PFHoe export question
I tested out PFHoe but don’t know what I’m doing wrong.
Within the PFHoe program it tracks rock solid like a champ, but when exported to a C4d 3d file it is suddenly all over the place.
I’ve read that I should try to export to a lightwave and then bring into C4d, but I had the same results.
Here is a side by side comparison video:

Any hints?

Are you sure you have the object in Cinema on the appropriate ground plane from PFHoe? You also have to make sure you export the undistorted video footage and use that as your BG in Cinema.
I’ve used PFHoe’s C4D export with good success.

Check out this post, i had the same problem last week: https://mobi.creativecow.net/thread/19/873583
Those solutions worked great for me, but let me know if they don’t on your end.

Hi Jeff,
You are right to use the Lightwave export for PFhoe until there is a fix for the C4d export.
Often when there is drift like this it is caused because the start frame is not the same in C4d as it was in PFhoe. ie. “0” and “1” Have you checked this?

Also, I’d check if your footage is interlaced. If so, you probably want to deinterlace before tracking.
