PFHoe Project Carrara 8 Pro Test with DAZ Victoria-4 and MatchMove Assistant

Here is my first attempt with PFHoe and Carrara-8 Pro. I used Match Move Assistant to create a SYNCAR file with the camera position information from PFHoe from Pixel Farm XML file. Then I set up a V4 animation in DAZ Studio and imported it into Carrara-8 Pro. I tracked a dolly move for the background plate. You have to tweek the camera focal length until the trackers line up with the background footage because Match Move Assistant doesn't translate them for you.

Is all 3D?

@drvbengcivil No, only the girl is 3D. It's a camera match move with a 3D object composited.

I will try to post an example video this week.

Thanks, I used 2 distant lights to give it an ambient light feel and turned the shadows way down. Its my first match move so I hope to improve next time.

...I didn't expect instant results with this software, but any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated!

Hello - Great work! I just purchased pfhoe pro and MMA for Carrara 8. Can you offer me any advice for getting started? For example, when I import the syncar file into Carrara, I see the vast sea of trackers, but I'm completely disoriented as to where they are in relation to my source video. I import the video as a map into the backdrop, but it doesn't seem to be line up in any way with the trackers.  Mind you,
