In this part we'll use the added trackers from part 1.1 (Objecttracking in SynthEyes 2008) to get a good solve. Moreover we will finetune the trackers in a good way. Also you'll learn how to remodell a part of an object using the solved 3d points. And of course we will correctly export the solve and the modell to use it in 3ds max. In the next part we will import the solve and place the remodelled half face site and I will show you how you are able to place and remodell the terminator head to get it look correctly.

Would this work in boujou? I dont really want to buy another program.

[vfxworld]

@happyfoxproductions yes, this works in any other tracking program.

[criso1994]

@vfxworld No it doesnt

[vfxworld]

@criso1994 yes it does. Just treat your object as a sticky one and get the cam move.

[criso1994]

@vfxworld Boujou is designed for environment tracking so doesn't do as well as syntheyes with projects like this

[vfxworld]

@criso1994 I never sayed it does well. But it is possible and there are people using boujou for these type of projects.

[andywhufcno1]

@happyfoxproductions Lol! You are asking a question like this when you have a $10000 worth of software in Boujou. Something tells me you use piratebay..

@gagandhaliwal2007

You have to set up some contraints on trackers. If you haven't, just don't check the "constrain" box.

@NiallHornProductions

Try setting beginning & end frames in solver panel. 0-50, 25-50 or whatever. If it solves, then uncheck beginning and end, set solving mode to "refine" and hit "solve" button.
