    I had done Blender camera tracking twice in the past and got fairly good results, but I was reluctant to use it again, because it seemed to take forever. Lots and lots of camera solving and tweaking before I got it right. I learned it from someone else's tutorial and remember writing everything down: 462 steps (exaggeration, but there were quite a lot of steps). Your tutorial explains it much better, makes it seem less daunting. I'm excited to try it again....

    The automatic adjusted shadow catcher nodes in the Compositor aren't necessary anymore since you can go in the Ground's object tab->scroll down->click 'shadow catcher' and the ground will be invisible but receive shadows from objects

    • @KenanProffitt

      Thanks for noting this! Yes, that is true. It works just as well also.

      Kenan Proffitt I always had problems with the shadow catcher nodes since it wasn't easy to manage issues like edges or shadow problems even though I love the compositor.
      So I'm pretty happy that the shadow catcher was released :D

    OMG. I'm actually quite speechless on how basically easy this can be. It's more tedious than anything but I, for some reason, like tedious things. It gives me a reason to put on music while doing this. A while ago when I was watching things about Blender, I watched quite a bit of Blender Guru's video on motion tracking and got the idea that it's really hard. The only thing that makes it hard is crappy quality footage. I'm glad I watched this before fully watching Blender Guru's video. It's 57 mins. I mean, Blender Guru overly explains things so if I want to get more details, he is good for that but this is a quick and simple rundown on how to do this. Thanks.
    One question I have is how do you render it? Do you render it like you normally do? Like I usually just render it into pictures, then into a video. And is the sound, if any, included once you render?
    When I do try it, I may have questions. I don't know until I try once.

    2 questions. 1:How did you prevent the shadow clipping through the footage with the plane? 5:40

    "not as complicated as it might seem".... sure for a simple shot like this. This was the easiest possible shot to track. Fine for a tutorial on learning the controls and process. When the camera starts panning around and translating through the scene, maybe zooming, then things get ugly pretty quickly. I'm not sure Blender can solve for zooms. But thanks for the run-through. Its a perfectly adequate tracker for basic shots.

    • @SpencerMagnusson
      @SpencerMagnusson 6 лет назад

      Alien Soup I agree, it all really depends on the footage, motion blur, and available camera data. I've been using Blender's motion tracker for a while, and it's been pretty capable. They've added an Autotrack add-on in 2.79 (or for upcoming 2.8 - it's available online). It's not perfect, but it's good for landscape shots. If you need advanced motion tracking tutorials, there's some great ones I can point you to.

    • @MapMonkeyTube
      @MapMonkeyTube 6 лет назад

      @@SpencerMagnusson Coming in a bit late, but about these "advanced motion tracking tutorials" that are "some great ones"... I have Moby Motion, Oliver Villar, Blender Foundation's Tracking series, Andrew, cgGeek, and. of course, Kenan already bookmarked. What great insight am I missing that would allowing tracking with a cell phone that we all carry? I film with a tape measure and have Solves as low as .01743 (my best); yet have never had any Reconstruction anywhere close to what was shot.
      I'd actually like to work done with cell phones. Oliver used an old, off brand camera, but that's about the closest. We all have cells so its relatable. And fiscally, I'd like see that I can achieve it with the $600+ piece of equipment I already have before spending the same and more on a workflow I cannot complete successfully.
