Tracking Footage

As i am a look Dev Artist for this group project i am only tracking the footage in order to show that i am capable of tracking within 3DE.

I will track the footage

bring it into Nuke Compositer

Add some tracked Objects

Export file and place here

Opening up 3DE equalizer R7

Importing footage into the project

Beginning Tracking of file

Add contrast tio help track

Begining tracking everything.

I know have 27 points tracking forward

i will now track the rest of the points backwards

i now have just under 100 trakcing amrkers

Currently my number is too high, i want to get it down to 0.5000 range, to ensure it is accurate enough to track within Nuke.

I will do this by removing and improving certain trackers within the project.

this should smooth out the graph and ensure there are not gaps in the calculation graph as well as seen above.

My points are now under 0.6000 meaning it is accurate enough to begin the process of adding the lens distrotion info provided by christos.

Now i am adding the lens distortion measurements to ensure that the tracking is accurate to the camera it was filmed on.

I will now add some geometry to help with the import to Maya.

File ready to be exported and imported into Maya.

these are my tacekrs

Just had a discord meeting with dom

his main points to me were

  • track the edges fo the room
  • ensure that equalizer is able to understand the corners and walls of the room
  • end points that go out of frame and then restart them if they come back in
  • aim to have points all long the floor against the wall and each corner of the room

After this short call i was able to get a fresh perspective eon how to track this properly and i am now feeling more confident in getting it done.

This is a better reference as it highlights all the locations that need to be tracked better.

im planning to use the contrast in image controls to help point these markers.
