PFTRACK TEST

3D tracking test using PFTrack see if the rolling shutter and small size of a cheap HDV camera would cause problems with the solve when handheld.
There is a fair bit of slide with this track..but nothing that can't be sorted for next time:)
Texture/ lighting are set to basic scanline in 3Ds max 2010.

@AiDz0r - Nuke and Boujou both have excellent tracking capabilities, I just prefer the interface in PFTrack for some reason. You can track the scene without markers, I only threw up the stand with markers because I knew it would be quicker to get a fairly accurate track.

So the room is "real"? Looks like DaVinci's studio (with a furnace!). LOL GREAT work.

@AiDz0r - There is a few ways you could do this.

1. You could get a really good track without the boom stand at all. Simply track the ground markers perhaps with a larger spread and some of the bricks in the background and other static objects in the scene (then comp out the markers on the floor)

2. Painting out the boom stand on the plate (like they do with harness wires on actors) its painstaking but the results are normally undetectable to the eye.

Either way great results Hanszuper!!

and how are we meant to hide the marks that we do for a specific object, you made hidden it by making the object bigger though what if its smaller.

@Hanszuper its just so perfect, though why would you use PFTrack, is it better then Nuke and Boujou?
