cool,

Im new to all ths 3D stuff so can someone explain to me wat motion tracking does

[JamesCGI]

King5333,

Motion tracking takes a 2D image sequence (video/film) and extrapolates a 3D solution for the camera path. So it "tracks" pixels on screen (like the corner of a table, or red X on the wall) and with enough points can reproduce the camera position/field of view/motion in your 3D package.

I use Syntheyes 2007 (2008 is the latest) for motion tracking and then import the match moving solution into Softimage 7.5 for 3D rendering.

Very impressive. Nice work.

Twigsinc,

Thanks! My first time working with SynthEyes for the motion tracking and I'm happy with how it came out. Hopefully will have something more complex up next week.

Cheers!

Very nice, we recently started to test motion tracking at work it's pretty interesting stuff, although not entirely applicable to what we do.

We got the augmentation of a sphere in motion tracking to drive the position of a camera in unity, although the results were less then ideal; the concept is interesting.
