camera sync

Post by bitkar »

hey, is it possible and what do you use to insert an object into a video, where camera moves and rotates? I just wonder if this is possible with use of trueSpace.
for expample. To make some object, like a car in tS. To make a video of a camera panning on the street and going around some empty place then. And as a result i will place the car on the street and animate it as it will park at the empty place where the camera would circle. NOW - how to sync the camera inside tS with the video to make the car looking naturaly like its really there in the video. Forget about syncing it manually. I want to know if there is some good usable workflow to put it together.
note: it will not be just about a position but also about view angle, rotation (or even zoom).

This can be done with a motion tracking tool. The idea is to grab points with the MT program and load the points inside tS via a python script. I teste it and it worked as expected.
Frank made a nice tutorial on his website but I don't see the link anymore...
Frank are you reading ? Is your tutorial still online ?

great, this is what i was looking for. Something that will animate the camera based on motion tracking. Always wanted to try it. Thank you.
