My take on the Aetuts+'s "PFhoe-ly Cow" matchmoving contest. Had a total panic schedule with this one as I completely forgot the deadline to be so soon. Luckily I still found some time to complete this with some dirty error hiding tricks such as camera zooming. XD
You have my vote:) How much time did you spent on this?

@apaczos111 :) Thanks! I used four long evenings (& nights) for this. That includes simulation baking and render times. Would've needed one more day to get better fluid simulation accuracy, but unfortunately ran out of time.

@HannuHoffren That's pretty nice result with that time. I had three days, and I didn't have any idea what to do with the footage:) But, tomorrow I think will be the voting, so, let the best win! My vote is going on this one for sure:)
Best of luck and goodluck! :)

@apaczos111 Yeah, it's weird but some of my best works got born in a big rush. However I think in all of those works I had to do some major compromises so its really not the way I should try to work all the time, even though clients might like it. :) Thank you for the kind feedback! Wishing better luck for you in the future contests!

@badashahfx Thanks for the nice guess, but there's some other nice videos too (especially at Vimeo), so I'm not so sure if I'll win. :)
I don't know why so many had problems with the track. All I did was interpret the footage as 24fps and it worked. However one thing that I probably did differently to most was exporting the tracked data to python script so I could use it in Blender too. Many had problems at the end of the track where I didn't use AE's 3d so much as Blender's rendered material.
