    There are many programs that can do camera tracking, and the same basic fundamentals apply to all of them. In this video, however, Niko shows you how to get a flawless camera track in Boujou!

    Select one of your nulls on the ground, press p for position , copy and paste the data into the position of your object. Press r for rotation and paste that data into the object aswell. Done.

    You basically mask the part that you want to object track, then invert the mask to get the whole scene except the object masked. When exporting, select "Frozen camera, moving scene" . Done. In your 3D program, parent your 3D object to the moving null.

    Nice job on the tool and ability to abstract the methodology of motion tracking. I've been playing around with VooCAT and find it fairly intuitive plus powerful. Has a great tool set similar to Boujou that you demonstrate in this video.
    For those looking for a motion tracking app, even though it might not be quite as powerful in some area's, it's price tag for a commercial version might be just what your looking for.
    I can't wait for more of these tutorial video's from you guys!

    go into 4 view mode and make sure it isn't below a null on the ground. Or you can also copy the position data of the null and paste it to the solid to get it in the general area

    boujou will be able to track any shot as long as its rectilinear, aka the straight lines arent curvy like the gopro's fisheye. All you have to do is undistort the fisheye shots, which you can do in after effects with the "lens correction" filter.

    That would be long for them to make, have you checked RUclips tutorials for your 3D application? There is already all the info needed out there, while in - depth Boujou tutorials were pretty rare.

    You guys should do a competition where you shoot a bunch of footage and let your fans download it. Then give us two weeks, or so, to make our own videos with it. At the end we can submit what we've made, and the winning video could be posted on your second channel with a link to the creators channel. Just an idea...

    Boujou is better at handling JPEG sequences for reasons nobody knows. It will affect quality however this doesn't matter since the JPEG footage is only use for reference. When you export your 3D models out of your 3D program and put them back into your edit, you're still rendering the final movie with your original rush ;)

    I don't know if this helps but if you're using a plugin like Twixter, try and record the background as plain as possible. It will help a great deal. This is why Twixter works superbly with outdoor skate or bike footage with blue sky :)

    2. a friend of mine was talking about a program called Eyeon Fusion
    so I would like to see you guys maybe talk about it, and it's difference to after effects
    thanks anyways. good vid

    Long process. When exporting, Set start index to 0, scale scene to 100. When you have your .c4d file made, open it in Notepad/textedit. Search for 3.14 until you find 3.14(etc) in-between two sets of 0.000000. Top 0.000000 should be negative. Bottom should be positive. Change the top to positive, change the 3.14(etc) to 0.000000, Then search for "ParentItem 10000001" then replace it with "ParentItem 10000002". That should fix it. Also make sure to use a h.264 compressed video inside Cinema 4d.

    p.s. will you make a tutorial about how you did some of the 3D animations or particle flow in „Potion Overdose“? Or is it Jam's responsibility? :))

    Hi guys, love your tutorials.. was wondering if you have a tutorial or would do a tutorial for doing slow-mo stuff? I don't have any expensive equipment but love it when there are slow-mo sections to home videos etc.. however, whenever I have tried it ends up with all these ugly interpolating blurred ghost frames and I am wondering if there are any tricks to filming it better so that I'll be able to produce some slow-mo transitions without the interpolating ghosts?

  • @MannyFigs
    @MannyFigs 11 лет назад

    My question is, when Boujou creates the camera, does it also honor the focal length that was use for the original shot. Like for example, say I shot something with a 16mm, does the Boujou camera distort objects around the edges of the frame as if it was a 16mm. Or would it be best to avoid wider shots for tracking? I hope this makes sense.
