thank you! all these matchmove tutorials just got me my first vfx job :)
That's amazing! i'm glad they helped :)
Congratulations
Wooow! Absolutely fantastic! Thanks a lot! Now I have a better understanding what happenns with all that CAM on-set data in post.
Thank you so much! Can't wait to learn from all the other Matchmove tutorials as well
no worries, glad you are enjoying them :)
Realllllyyy well put together thank you
Thanks a lot for this great tutorial !!! really useful !!!
Thank you so much it really helps.
You're welcome!
very detailly explained tutorial, excellent, tutorial, thanks you very much sharing your knowledge and time.
Thank you so much!
For future videos - When you edit them, please make sure your audio db levels are very close to 0 DB. It's very quiet.
Thanks. I was beginning to think my speakers had died.
thanku soo much it really help to learn
sunil kumar glad you enjoyed it :)
thank you so much sir
no worries, Im glad you enjoyed them :)
I learnt the importance of survey data and 3d orientation Thanku you so much sir..
that's great :) if you can survey to geo you can track most shots :)
@@VFXTutorsok sir I will always remember your talk..
thank you, your tutorials were so useful to understand match moving, I went along with your tutorial but I didn't find a UV map to import my texture to the 3d model in the 3d equalizer
if you are using an older version you might not have it, but the texture is only a guide, you can use featurse of the table to line up with, like the corners :)
I miss you
Can you make a video about adjusting the focal estimate when we place a moving object inside the video?
loving u r tuts bro never seen a 3DEqualizer tut youtube in this level. 1 suggestion if u can make a bundle with all those project files into a single product it would nice instead of adding each for people who wish to buy the entire collection.
thank you, I'm glad your enjoying them,
they are all separate at the moment because some have a lot of data, some are over 25Gb, but ill figure out how to do a bundle voucher though if that helps
@@VFXTutors hello good lessons! I have a question for you, did you use the 18-35 sigma speed booster makes its own changes in the focal length how to specify the focal length corrected for the speed booster.?
@@user-fh9vq1it8d Hey, thank you, glad you're enjoying them,
I didn't use a speed booster on any of my shots.
but you should be able to adjust for a speed booster, If you have a set scan or accurate geo to survey to you can easily adjust this in the parameter adjustments.
you just need to adjust your focal length and distortion,
you don't need set scans to do this, but it will make your adjustments more accurate
hope that helps?
Damm, I just saw the introduction and the already uploaded playlist and insta bought the materials, content like this is needed more, I guess you'll see my comments while I watch the series.
Thank you :)
@@VFXTutors Hi, the tracking in my custom scene is pretty good but when it goes past my reference frame(one of the last) it goes from .2 pixels to 41, and every point seems to move from the projected position. Any ideas?
@@edh615 could you upload a screen recording or screenshot so I could see?
@@VFXTutors My pc just crashed and hadn't saved the project(I know..), I'll try to follow the workflow concisely in other scene and see if the same happens, thanks for answering, appreciate your attention.
@@edh615 Oh no :( if it happens again, upload a screen recording and i can take a look :)
and no worries I'm happy to help
hello, i have a question , did you export your tracked data to 3ds max or maya or just the centered image for the making of geometry ? help me out
I made the geometry from a scan, then surveyed tracking points to it inb 3de,
I have a tutorial on building geometry from scans here :)
ruclips.net/video/pUw8ObINfWw/видео.html
Excellent tutorial, gained valuable knowledge. Unfortunately, it lacks lens calculation for Ple, so that aspect needs to be omitted, making it somewhat limited.

Fantastic tutorial! What does the "Gauge Marker" button do?
thanks, glad it was helpful, its like a snapshot of the pattern its looking to track, its more useful for tracking areas that might blur/change shape, so you can "guage" marker to to refresh the patter nits looking to track
Hi josh
i have a question.
what can i do when i dont have any tracking point data on the object i want to allign in this case a building set on a night shot
How can i allign the 3d object in to the camera solve so all can match properly
Sorry for my bad english
Thanks for all the the tutorials!!
Hello, how do you switch to full screen mode? Usually there is a title bar at the top..
Hello, I have seen lots of your videos, all I can say is thank you very much, they are amazing. I hope to check them all soon, what I havent seen is how to create the geometry that matches the footage. For example in this video you import the obj scene and it matches perfectly. How did you do the geometry?I would like to model my own geometry in 3ds max; i think yo uuse maya but the principles are the same. please I would like to know, thanks in advance
Ivan Cueto thank you, glad you enjoyed them, that has been asked for a few times, I’ll put it on my list of tutorials to do :)
It is just built in maya and will be the same methods in 3ds max,
there are a few tricks I used to model in the correct depth which I’ll go through as well
@@VFXTutors thanks you very much, I cant wait for that video. I just recorded a short test with my camera 9 seconds, and i already modelled the scene with measurements and all(no textures), I hope it works,I will try it after lunch , Ill keep you posted.
@@VFXTutors thanks a lot
@ 7:11, What is filmback, and why it is important?
do we need to know filmback size of every shot? If yes, how will we get to know about the exact filmback value?
what if I am trying to do matchmove task on a shot, filmed from my smartphone?
and do we always need to start with the CG Scan that you use? If yes, so do we need to model those CG assets accurately every time before tracking footage?
Hi Akshay, Film back is the Sensor size of a camera, Filmback is very important as it works with the focal length to make the correct field of view.
if you don't have the correct film back your cg can shrink or grow as the camera moves because of the wrong field of view.
most cameras you can google the sensor size, but some smart phones are difficult to find this information, but also there is a lot of mystery stuff that happens in smartphones when filming, so sometimes its better to work from the equivalent focal length.
I do have tutorials on tracking smart phone footage that will help you with this :)
no you dont always need to start with a CG scan or set geo, but its better if you do as it will give you very accurate results,
and working at a VFX company you will need to matchmove to already made geo,
all my tutorials are to prepare you to get a job in matchmove, there are a lot of tutorials that are wrong on RUclips and are misleading.
as a matchmove supervisor these are the skills i look for in showreels
hope that helps?
@@VFXTutors thank you
no worries :)

here is a PLE specific tutorial here
ruclips.net/video/AAKomH2mJCI/видео.htmlsi=AQWNs6lBiVsjylqU
yes I learned a lot after completing your ple course, gained new experiences, it's important to reflect on - and this one it is not very limiting - thanks
How did ou create the original geo?Just settled of one frame and modeled it out?
that model was modelled from a scan, iv just uploaded a tutorial on how to make accurate geo in 3dequalizer, but i will also upload tutorials on scanning/remodelling :)
Are there lessons where you go through the workflow of creating geo instead of just importing already made geo? Thanks.
David Miranda Hi David, there are 5 lessons on how to create geometry in 3dequalizer, MM011, MM012, MM013, MM014, MM015, and that should give you very accurate geometry for your scenes,
I will do some lessons on how to make geometry manually in maya
Have a look at the course break down video, it will explain what each video shows :)
Hope that helps
Josh

Hi Josh,
I've just started following your videos and would love to join the discord, but I think the link has expired or I may not have permission to enter :'D

Of course you can join :) discord.gg/rVxheg3P
Hi Josh. I'm somewhat of a newbie to 3DE4 and I don't understand what the purpose of this is. my experience so far is track your shot either Auto or Manual, solve for low error then import into your 3D model/animation is created using the tracking data. (to make it move through the scene), then compositing it into the scene. I don't understand why you would have a 3d model first, then import it into the scene, then line up the camera according to that. I realize this is probably a stupid question, so forgive my ignorance. I'm at a loss, please i need explanation i am curiosity, how you do that? i need to understand this if i must call myself a professional.
One utility is that you can make 3D VFX interact with the environnement (smoke could go around objects for example. And since everything is matched, you could directly add the rendered smoke above the original footage).
I noticed the sensor size you state is 21.12x11.88 mm which is a 1.778 aspect ratio, same as your footage. I am just curious how you came to get that sensor size because if I check the manufacture website it says 18.96x10mm. Just curious as I shot on a camera which has a sensor size that is not 1.778 aspect ratio, and if I input the size directly into 3de it changes the aspect ratio of the footage and looks wrong. Appreciate any advice!
You’re looking at the pocket 4K camera, the one I use is much older, the production 4K
What camera are you filming on?
@@VFXTutors I shot on a Panasonic Lumix FZ200 which has a sensor size of 6.17x4.55 mm (an 1:35 aspect ratio). My video footage's aspect ratio is 1:778 (1920x1080). Should I just input either the height or width of the sensor and have 3de maintain the aspect ratio? What do you normally do in this scenario? Thank you!
Did you modeling the obj file in Maya yourself?
Could I know how to make it? Did you use projection mapping in Maya?
hey, I did model it in Maya, but I also made a scan of the area to make it very accurate,
this is how i did it :)
ruclips.net/video/pUw8ObINfWw/видео.html
Hello there great tutorial I'll buy the material for sure. One question, how do u model all the stuff to match the footage? do you measure then? Can you teach us the process? I would love to know!!! Thanks again!!!
Hi, thats been asked for quite a lot, So it's on the list of tutorials to do :) I should have something up soon that will help
VFX Tutors tell me little bit about the process please.
Nelsinho Souto sure, so with this one, I scanned the area using agisoft, then modelled around the scan. I still took measurements so I could scale it to the correct size.
But you can just measure all of the area and model from your measurements :)
Hi Nelsinho, I'v just put up some tutorials for the entire process, which include modelling accurate geo :)
@@VFXTutors Oh Thanks a lot!!!
28:30 these are awesome thank you
I am using 3DE4 r3 and i am missing the uv map tab. Any other way for me to access it so i can import the uv map ?
hey, I dont think you will have the uv option in that version, but you dont need it, you can liner it up with out the uv :)
Hi bro can u explane.about
curve editor. Equlizer manualy
my latest video shows how to use the curve editor for dynamic zoom and animated distortion if that helps?
Hello again! The same question about geometry! On 8:00 - where this obj is coming from? 3DEqualizer automaticly generates it? :) Thank you so much for your lessons.
No, he modeled in Maya, but i am too get confused why he putted before start to track :(
hey, sorry about the late reply, for some reason messages were not showing. the obj was made in maya from a scan, this helps with the accuracy and make tracking easier.
there are ways you can make geometry in 3de though, using point clouds to make rough geometry
hope that helps?
hi, sorry about the late reply, messages were not showing up :( the reason for putting the model in first is that we are then tracking to a layout, this means the camera will work with everyone else that working on the shot. this is also what you will have to do if you work at a vfx company, learning to track and survey to geo is the most important thing to learn in matchmove.
hope that helps?
@@VFXTutors Hello! :) What is the best way to scan? Is than an app? "the obj was made in maya from a scan" - how it works? The scan? Tnank you
@@vsdifer2 here’s a full playlist of scanning objects :) hope that helps

Hi VFX Tutors, How do you make a same size of OBJ Model ?
Hi, I create a scan then model around it, but you can use measurements and model the objects that way :)
hope that helps?
when im import camera track from 3DE to maya tracking data is float. sombody help me. i checked fps and lendistor but it still didn't work !!!
Hey Viet Cycle, if you could you upload a video and I can see what's going on :)
hi., im new to 3de.. where should i actually start.. since this series starts with matching 3d models i should not try this so early right.? how about from the basic tutorials from their website and later to this series.!?
Hey,
mm001 tutorial is a good place to start as it covers all the basics but also gets you working in an industry workflow.
Its good to learn this from the start, as this is how all VFX companies work :)
@@VFXTutors ok.. I've already tried mm01.. Thankyou.. I'll go on then
how you designed that model.you directly imported as obj..but how to work that...pls explain
Hey, so I have a playlist on how to create the models here :) ruclips.net/p/PL6GYC59wj8mBTl1tAwlYN5DsrlMTvDzj8
well here are some doubts i will like to get cleared
3:16 you increased gamma value to 2.2, is this important? and will this value apply to every sequence or it differs throughout the different shots?
9:00 i was trying to match geo to my scene but it didnt matched properly like yours, so is it okay to match it roughly?
10:55 single frame lineup? means we have to match the geo accurately to scene for one frame?
is it important to only track those points which we use to lineup the geometry?
well everything went well, tried to follow each and every step, but one thing i need to know how much should be deviation value? you have got around 0.20 and mine it was 0.26. what value we should be aiming for?
Hi, So the reason for changing the gamma to 2.2 is because the images sequence is in a linear colour space, as this is how all VFX footage is used, this allows everything to be rendered in linear then have a final LUT/colour grade placed on all the CG and footage, so there is no miss match of colour.
yes it fine to match roughly, its just so you can see where your surveying. yes the single frame line up is very important as this will help your solve to be very accurate
and you don't have to track the points you use for the single frame line up,
as for deviation 0.26 is very good, well done :) you should always try aim to be below 1 on the deviation
@@VFXTutors once again, thanks ✌️😁
no worries :)
Hi, is it not necessary to set the overscan factor for export to Maya?
Hi, it really depends on your work flow, I prefer to keep all my camera settings to the original camera used to film and then set up the over scan in the renderer, this is also the cleanest and simplest way to deal with over-scan, I will make a tutorial on this as I will have to do it for the sword tutorial series :)
@@VFXTutors Thank you! Your channel is amazing!
@@DGFA- thanks you :) I will be doing more tutorials covering lots of other stuff in vfx at some point :)

How to decrease the point size in EQLIZER
Hey, you can click and drag on the inner and outer boxes of the tracking point
Sir not a track boxes I need track point size
We do the decrease track point witght like that
@@naalokam1432 oh you mean point weight,
So select your point, then go to the point tab on the bottom right, in 3d calculation there is a static weight value, it’s default is 1 but that’s where you can increase/decrease point weights

can you give us software link? please
Sagar Biswas you can download 3de from here
www.3dequalizer.com
@@VFXTutors is that free ?
@@sagarbiswas4331 you can download the PLE version for free but you cant export or save.
if you download the PLE version ill show you how to make a showreel without paying for 3de :)
Plz software link
3D equaliser
survey free means
survey free means that you are letting 3dequalizer triangulate the tracking point in 3d, so it will figure out the depth from your solve.
surveying is telling 3de that a 2d point is in an exact depth, this makes the camera solve more accurate
after 1000 subscribers you will the data for free
vfx school yes, 1,2,3,4,5 will be free at 1000 subs :)
One thing i dont understand is if you already have the focal lenght of the lens for the video you recorded, why dont you just add that info in the software instead of calculating the lens focal lenght with the software? I recorded a video with a 24-105mm lens and at 24mm, why should i calculate the focal lenght if I already know what it is.
Ivan Cueto you don’t need to calculate it if you know the focal length, I did it that way just to show people how to do it if they didn’t know it,
but I it does help to do a calculation of the focal length even if you know it, as it may not be exactly 24mm depending on your focal distance, even if you calculate the focal length and it’s 24.3mm, it might improve your camera solve
@@VFXTutors Cool, thanks for the response, that makes lot of sense
Ivan Cueto no worries :)
Well that didn't work.
What didn’t work?
@@VFXTutors Oh, I realise my comment was a little stupid. I was working on a shot for a show and have been using 3de for about a week, so I'm not experienced with it. I aligned the supplied geo and tracked, but the solve then placed the geo somewhere else entirely. So the solve isn't accurate, and I don't quite understand this process yet. But I'll get there. I did use your tutorials to solve a pretty impossible shot. Thank you.
