  • Re-Create Green Screen Cam in C4D?

    Posted by Jason Connolly on November 10, 2010 at 8:03 pm

    Howdy-

    I have the dimensions and measurements from a recent stereoscopic 3D shoot. The camera is locked off. Is there a conversion utility within C4D to convert feet and inches to C4D’s measurement system? I have C4D 11.5 Studio Bundle on a MacPro, 2x3GHz Quad-Core Intel.

    Thanks,
    Jason

    R12 uses true dimensions but 11.5 and previous versions did not. You’ll either have to use a tracker or do it by eye.

    Hey, Adam-

    Thanks, I was afraid of that! But at least now I know.

    Many thanks!

    Now that I think of it, though, you can probably do fine if you have all the information, since it’s all relative anyway. So if you’re in the US, set your units for feet or inches, set the plane the appropriate distance from the camera, the camera the appropriate distance from the floor, and set the camera’s focal length to the same as the real comera. Should work.

    Thanks, Adam, I ‘ll give it a try later today.
