[markjason2]

help me dude. whenever i try to import it on 3ds max my camera is on a posistion upside down. i don't get where i can put the x and y coordinates

[hebbazz]

@markjason2 View videoCoPilots tutorial on this. They adress this problem.

[MercuriousH]

@markjason2 rename the z axis to y axis and don't make another z axis

[TheGuyVictorESP]

Daumen hoch und Abo !

[hobobastard]

did you or didn't you use to have a really long boujou and after effects tutorial where you had animations on a wall as you panned right to left? if so, what happened to it? lol

[vfxworld]

@hobobastard ye, but that Tutorial is about SynthEyes ;)

[ChingChangTV]

deutsch fragezeichen

[sanandreas741741]

hey, here is some smart question, how to i make scene behind the object, so the object dosen t sees, is there tutorial?

[MegaFuckism]

hi @vfxworld im looking boujou 5 tutorials from basic to advance, can u recommend me some tutorlas.

btw, ur tutorial is great, like it :)

[sanandreas741741]

Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you, I can do this for rest of my life! :D SUBED, and love u :D

[ami7mina]

Can the optimize radial thingy be used in the freecamera mode? cause it says it will took 3 hours.....

[gp4f2008]

@ami7mina make sure your video is clear! Like, Full HD :)

[ami7mina]

This was very helpful. Thank you :)

[ShadowAtomproduction]

hey ist ja alles toll aber bei mir geht nix>.< bekomme es net hin weiß nicht welche sachen du anklickst ich bin net gut in english und ist auch blöde grafic bitte helf mirD:

[HYSSediting]

what should i do if i want to motion track an object to a certain spot ?

for example tracking a freezed muzzle flash to a pistol?

[theBOSS3105]

this is really good, I only have one question, every time i connect and apply the geometry, the whole thing moved and it did not move correctly above the ground, still somewhere in the middle!!! :(

[0TylerDurden0]

just to let u know.. i cant see for shit. its blurry. and the "higher quality" is the same thing.

[JeremieTUT]

can you import the tracking data in another 3d program such as Blender?

[Snapzzo]

@JeremieTUT yes, just chang the export setting from 3Ds Max to blender

[JeremieTUT]

@Snapzzo thanks

[skiLL2k11]

fix ur english

[FabianOchoaOchoa]

Hi, your work is amazing !! .... which is better in precision and ease of use SynthEyes or Boujou??

[vfxworld]

@FabianOchoaOchoa well, SynthEyes allows you more control, Boujou gives you fast and decent results.

I've got an 2+ Hour Tutorial about SynthEyes somewhere on my channel covering some camera tracking techniques.

[izvarzone]

I tried to use avi as footage and it only shown first frame, then tried png sequence and it was normal. So boujou can't use avi? By the way, what's best format for sequence: png, jpg, tga or tiff?

[zapdo77]

Please help when ever i solve the camera it does a really shitty solve and it only does like the last 3 seconds of the video, if any one could help my problem i would be so thankful.

[vfxworld]

@zapdo77 you've got a bad track.

Be sure to record enough paralaxe and record on a higher resolution than 320p..

[zapdo77]

@vfxworld Ok i have tried like 5 different pieces of footage but still it doesn't work please help so sorry for the bother

[SenorCajones]

@zapdo77 You've got another problem, you need to capitalize first person personal pronouns in English...always.

[csswafford]

those little blue dots dont show up fpr me after u do the camera solve, they show up on 3d view, but not 2d view??

[Mirobe55]

When I do the Add/Edit Scene Geometry the points never lays flat of the x-axis, i tried adding different axis's and everything!

[cepomwa]

this crap costs like 5000$ are they crazy or what?

[XboxFreaking360]

when i track it doesnt camera solve the whole clip... what should i do?

[SimonKarman]

how to look around in 3d space?

[Mirobe55]

@SimonKarman To look around in 3D space hold Shift to move around and hold Control and Shift to rotate

[SimonKarman]

@Mirobe55 thx :)

[Richpers0n16]

this video helped?!?!?!!!! thanks man

[conceptlab]

Hey there, i posted a 3d test video (my fisrt). I posted it as a video reaction. I was able to make this test thanks to your tutorial!

[mrmivpushkin]

I cant select a track wtf? I have boujou 5 what am i doing wrong?

[Henriiiiiiii]

klingt wie ein Deutscher mit schlechtem Englisch :P :D

[ForumMod94]

@Henriiiiiiii Er spricht doch gut Englisch ;)

[Henriiiiiiii]

@ForumMod94 Aber das klingt mir zu deutsch... also schlecht :P

[ForumMod94]

@Henriiiiiiii Du könntest es nicht besser.

[bitadiaz]

Hello! I'm triying to open the .ms through maxScript as you say but Max tells me "Unknown property: numframes in undefined". What happend? What can I solve the problem?

Thanks

[lillolodi]

Hi, great tutorial but I have a little question...I have no 2D Tasks and 3D tasks in the option line...I have file, edit artifacts,action, play, view...could you help me to understand how can I open Scene Geometry please?

Thank you very very much..

[vfxworld]

@kikomanbossgmailcom well i do draw some stuff but I never did a video with voiceover.

[ViperQc]

My Boujou keep crashing when I export to 3sd max files. Any idea why?

[GtaBasejumpBBoy]

i have this icons on the left on y boujou not

[007s00s]

How to object track?

[buzookablower]

what is this software called

[bandias350]

@buzookablower srsly man, the title says it

[SydFilm]

Thank you sooooo much for these great tutorials! Easy to understand makes it easy to learn :)

[YoungEditors]

would thi work for cinema 4d???????

[Trebor112112]

@YoungEditors YES!

[TheLokiFace]

thanks

[raulpp24]

gracias. muy buen tutorial.

[007s00s]

How to change the frame rate to 15fps?

[EliaForce1984ita]

Can I export it for maya 2009/2010 aswell?

[SuPeRPiiG]

can you not just do with with boujou then ae? no 3ds

[frediiee]

You sound like BRUNO

[EliaForce1984ita]

@frediiee lol

[NamishuHatake]

Boujou sucks.. Never works with me :( Trying for 3 months now, checked over 50 vids and instruction websites and used over 50 different tracks. NEVER worked...

[NamishuHatake]

@NamishuHatake This is the first tutorial that really worked! I just had to change it from X to Z X! Thanks for the tutorial! =D

[EliaForce1984ita]

@NamishuHatake instead it worked for me but the results just DON'T LOOK REALISTIC D:

[toni123123123]

super tutorial, hat mir richtig gut geholfen. aber wenn du an deinem Englisch arbeitest wird es bestimmt noch besser. :)

[HDGamingGuy]

cant believe that program cost 10 000$!

[X15Studios]

@HDGamingGuy hahaahahahah i have it!

[InFinityFaMouS]

@X15Studios Yeah, we all know how you got it. Now please, stop brag.

[X15Studios]

@InFinityFaMouS was i talking to you?

[combatfear4]

me i want this programs help me what is the neame for oll this programs that you deed to make video effects

[TheNeyi]

Hi, Really nice Video. Though i have a problem. When i export my Camera to 3ds max Format and try to open the script in 3ds max 2010 it says It cant find the file, also it seems to wanto open the original movie clip. Got any idea what i have done wrong or havent done? :P

[ScreamoBaptism]

When I tell it to track every frame, it only tracks the first frame, then all the tracking dots stay in one place and don't follow the video.

[iSOBigD]

Can you tell me how to get locators to follow black dots in my video? (I put black tape as trackers on a surface and filmed it) The automatic solve keeps losing the trackers and I'd like to manually adjust them but I can't find any tutorials on how to do anything manually in Boujou.

[vfxworld]

@iSOBigD boujou is an automatic tracking app.

There are several target tracks and locator functions, you can read exactly how that works in the help files.

[iSOBigD]

@vfxworld I actually used tracks now, I just didn't realize you were automatically put into edit mode after placing one and that keyframes were saved automatically. :P A simple thing, but I didn't think about it at first. I'm a bit disappointed with the tracking with simple tracks though, many times it can't track a black dot on a white background, so I have to go in manually, which is odd.

[madangopalgupta1]

@vfxworld ur tut realy helped me,thanks!

[iSanmuar]

every tutoaril i do i follow everything they say and it always turns out to be bull shit for me



[SwayzeDre]

is it possibe to put it in Cinema 4D?! omg your the best you explain everything so clear :D. All i have to do is export it as a c4d file and not a 3dsmax file correct?

Thanks a lot man

[vfxworld]

@SwayzeDre yes. You probably need to change the axis layout. Edit=>preferences=>Axis or something. Change that to the c4d layout.

[RobotHD]

Around 7:06 how did you rotate the camera to view the points below the 3D plane?

[Minamiblues]

Thank you for the tutorial :D

[chuy1n]

I try but i cant the X,Y,Z are mess up. i try to track it with the same parameters (x,y,z) well try to merge the same settings on the floor and the same (x,y) But not also i try to do in just 1 secuencer i cant :p any tip...?

Also i dont know how to set manual tracking like After Effects. 2 points and the system track it alone. i dont know if its the same?

[chuy1n]

When i (SOLVE CAMERA) they appear more than 1 camera solvesand i want just 1 "Solve camera"

HELP

[vfxworld]

@chuy1n your track was that bad that boujou can't figure out it was 1 camera.

Retrack with other settings, track manually with target tracks or reshoot with better tracking conditions.

[footo9000]

@chuy1n

use PFHoe it is WAY better and only 99$

i use it and it is awesome the part i am stuck at is that i dont know how to animate in 3ds max

[TheSATHIYARAJ]

thank you friend

[rupluttaja]

going try this when get new camera, check out my 1st 3d animation. (notice that i have used 3ds max only 1 week

[speedomike747]

How do you match move a moving camera(not just focussed on 1 spot)

[PaulVilnius]

When you started to talk i thought  its Arnold Shwarceneger :DDDD

[JWD96]

Nettes Tutorial, aber mal ehrlich, muss man unbeding $10000 für so ein Programm ausgeben? Das ist schon ziemlich viel verlangt, schließlich gibt es 3D Tracker ja auch kostenlos (Icarus)

[vfxworld]

@JWD96 Icarus ist nicht kostenlos ;) nur die alte Version.

Ich benutze SynthEyes. für knapp 400$ das beste was es gibt.

[iBeatsx]

i just have 1 problem when i was tracking feactures my crosses were really small only just noticable anyway i can resize them bigger and thanks forthe tut it really helped subbed :)

[MaxiiHD]

ok thanks ill try that

[MaxiiHD]

thanks and when i do the x-axis thing they just all go vertical, the floor tracks dont go to the grid.

[vfxworld]

@MaxiiHD thank try the x-y-plane by selecting points on the ground.

Or be sure to correctly update your x and y axis data.

[MaxiiHD]

@vfxworld it still goes vertical when i use that x-y-plane, basically this is what a do, select two points on the ground, click add/edit geometry thing, add coord from hint, x axis, conect to selected, update and they all go vertical. does the same with the x-y-plane

[vfxworld]

@MaxiiHD than your coordinate setup is wrong. If you work in maya, choose a y-z plane right now, if you work in max go somewhere to edit->preferences and there is a 3D view tab where you can set your coordinate system layout. Make it x-y

[MaxiiHD]

@vfxworld i mean in boujou everything goes vertical in the 3d view

[MaxiiHD]

when i go into 3d view i cant move around i can only select stuff

[vfxworld]

@MaxiiHD I think it was the shift key + mouse buttons or was it STRG? don't remember ;)

[magkas16]

I have Boujou demo but every time i go to open a file (import a sequence), it just says: "Error(300) the movie file(s) was not found"

i dont know what to do, i really need the program though :/

Anyone had or know how to solve this problem??

Thanks

[blackcrowe]

youre the best instructor on boujou so far..i understand this software only by watching your vids..thx guru..

[flashguy234]

i see this german/whatever guy everywhere

[vfxworld]

@flashguy234 define everywhere.

[flashguy234]

@vfxworld its just i seem to see a lot of ur vids and hear ur voice quite often

[vfxworld]

@flashguy234 and there will be more :) So you better remember my voice ;)

[flashguy234]

@vfxworld awesome, i hav a question.... can u use boujou to make a smoother camera move, like a pan for example, or do u need to use another program

[vfxworld]

@flashguy234 well, a smoother move can be generated by having a good track and activate the smooth solve option. Handheld camera tracks won't look good with that option turned on.. When importing your footage you can switch between Pan solve and free move solve.

[flashguy234]

@vfxworld thanks man

[flashguy234]

@vfxworld hey, i hav a another question (sorry if im annoying you) but, have u any experience with boujou 5.0 and if u hav, is it any different?

[vfxworld]

@flashguy234 I'm no longer using boujou.

[KaratePilz]

@vfxworld

which tracking software do you use now?

[vfxworld]

@KaratePilz SynthEyes.

[KaratePilz]

@vfxworld

thanks! why do you prefer synthEyes? it is special or is boujou just not that good?

[vfxworld]

@KaratePilz it is cheap.

Also it can do some more stuff than boujou can.

[Dimetrium]

Ужас! Твой английски ещё хуже чем у "пацанчиков с района". Не пытайся говорить с английским акцентом - говори американским.

[vfxworld]

@Dimetrium Вы просто должны смотреть на вас не делать этого.

[Dimetrium]

@vfxworld Создайте русскоязычную версию! :) Тема то очень интересная. .. просто столько уровков проводятся на "английском" от индусов, русских и китайцев - что хочеться возненавидить и америку и англию!

[vfxworld]

@Dimetrium К сожалению, я не могу говорить русским языком;)

[KOundCO]

hey, ich habe ein problem mit boujou:

sobald ich camera solve klicke und der vorgang abgeschlossen ist (der ewig dauert),

habe ich bei einer video länge von 10 sek. mehrere camera solves (genau genommen 4) die jeweils ein paar sekunden gehen... kannst du mir helfen, dass ich nur einen camera solve hinbekomme?

[vfxworld]

@KOundCO pn

[JDon07]

How do you zoom out in 3D mode?

[JDon07]

It doesn't matter I found out. (For anyone else who wants to know, shift and then right click to zoom or shift and left click to rotate).

[dualWastelanD]

so what constitutes a good tracker and a bad tracker?

[vfxworld]

@dualWastelanD a good tracker stays where it belongs.

A bad does not.

[cool2278]

hey ! i have tracked the footage and it has been tracked completely points are at right place in boujou but when i export the camera to max the camera is created from different angle(example: from top view) can you tell why is it happening so

[vfxworld]

@cool2278 Yes.

So your problem is the boujou 3D view configuration.

In order to achive the 3D solve for your specified 3D Application, go to edit=>preferences click on the 3D + and set the preferred camera orientation to Z-Up, Y-Forward for standard 3ds max grid setup.

[AimisDead]

Man hört sofort raus das du " Deutsch" bist ^^

:D

greetz ^^

[flourishla]

When i try and put my tracking points on the x axis, add/edit scene geometry, add coord frm point type is x axis connect to selected update coord all my points and camera rotate on the x axis, they all go in the Y axis, rotated on the x 180. The two points I selected are on the x axis but all the other points and camera are rotated. Cant get all the points to lie on the x axis. Went through the other types and still cant get the all the points to lie on the x axis. Please Help???

[vfxworld]

@flourishla than try to add a x-y plane by selecting some points on the ground.

[JDon07]

@flourishla Hey, I had the same problem as you. I solved it by adding a z-x plane instead of just x axis or x-y plane (both just rotated my scene 90 degrees on the Y axis). Hope this helps you anyway.

So try z-x plane.

[vfxworld]

@JDon07 aw, that's ur problem.

Well, easy way to solve this is to change the preference (edit=>preference somewhere there) the 3D view to z up. It's always good to ceep boujous coordinate system the same as your primary 3D application.

[cool2278]

Thanks For Reply

Will try it

[cool2278]

can you tell me something ?

when i try to export camera solve my computer freezes can you tell me why is it happening so do we have to select something to export camera solve (i mean trackers)

[vfxworld]

@cool2278 ew.

I think you got a slow machine. Or too many tracking points that you want to export. Simply select 5-10 points and do rightclick =>flag for export (some sort of that).

Than when exporting check the box "export flagged tracks only"

[AbuElyasBily]

thank very much vfxworld

[SoKrispyMedia]

i have a problem, when i select the points, not one but many turn green, how can this be fixed? thanks

[MarylinMonkee]

Dann mach ein deutsches für die deutschen ;D

und das sagt n Ire!

[MarylinMonkee]

:D Mach doch ein deutsches tut. Man hört nämlich deutlich deinen akzent ;D

[vfxworld]

Ja, ich bin deutscher.

aber es gibt mehr die englisch sprechen, also ist es sinnlos einen deutschen tutorial zu machen ;)

[chadster1311]

great tutorials watched them a few times but still getting used to it :) although for some reason when i go to my 3d view i cannot rotate it/zoom out...any deas?....thanks again

[doneydonydone]

hold shift and use mouse buttons ;oP

[chadster1311]

thanks for the advice much apreciated :)

[villainousturtle]

How did you get Boujou? It costs $10,000 after all.

[iOwnZXx]

Hi gutes tutorial .. ich weiss nicht genau .. aber man hört über das du deutscher bist .. haha ist cool !

[vfxworld]

Mein Akzent is verdammt schwer, das weiß ich xD

[kerafrommalta]

Can i use sonyvegas 9 and boujou in 1 project, like stuff i do on boujou to apply on SV9, do i have to render? help guys plz :)

[CoNnORMcCoWaN25]

@kerafrommalta yeah as long as you render .avi or windows media template , it will let you extract into svp

[kerafrommalta]

thx.

[spitandspite]

How do you track if a video where no ground is showing. So like a shot from the chest up. I export the camera and it works fine but it comes into Maya at grid. So basically in the ground.

[staszekalkatraz]

thanks for good tut !!!!

[uploader101]

Whats H.264? and how do I change this in after effects?

[vfxworld]

when you got AE, better convert to .jpg sequence.

[Potatis1337]

How does it work with export into a 3D program? Like from Bojou -> Maya? The scene itself is ok, but the imageplane is not the right size in relation to the trackers

[krepecish]

@Potatis1337

Not sure what exactly isn`t working for you, but I guess I have the same problem with Cinema 4D. imo it`s something with boujou in my case (in 3d view my points seem to be positioned wierd, as lens has some major distortion), so I`m going to play around with boujou settings or smth.

[NoslemProductions]

question. does anybody out there have a solution to when I camera solve it takes two hours for a 200 frame video. please let me know.

[vfxworld]

you got a bad track.

[aKidNamedMark]

Not a good computer?

[TheFirstLatvianBoy]

thank you!
