3D Tracking
This week I tried tracking 3D camera movements in 3D Equalizer. To start tracking the shot I needed to add lots of tracking points throughout the shot, these points needed to be at areas with high contrast and unique patterns.
In order to get a good track I had to create points in the foreground and background that had a parallax effect.
Once I had all my tracking points set I had to calculate the lens and distortion from the camera that was use to record the shot. Then I reduced the deviations and bad tracks to get as low of a value as possible.
Modelling
I exported two models from Zbrush to rig in Maya. For the human rig I used the quick rig built into Maya. For the dog I had to manually place the bones and make sure the hierarchy was correct.
