In this tutorial series, we will talk about Blender as a solution for 3D Camera and Object Tracking. Step by Step you will learn how to use Blender for preparing your footage in the Video Sequence Editor (VSE) and getting used to the Movie Clip Editor. Then we will cover the important fundamentals of 2D-Tracking in Blender and also some use-cases for directly using these data. Then we build upon these 2D-Tracks and start solving a 3D-Camera and talk about good and bad tracks, nodal shots, tricks like offset-tracking, joining of tracks, and analyzing solve problems. In the final tutorials, we will finish with Object-tracking for props replacement. After this tutorial series, you have a solid understanding of Blender's Camera and Object Tracking and how to use the solved data inside of Blender or in other applications like Maya, Cinema, or Houdini. These topics are covered in this tutorial: Understanding Feature Trackers Use-cases for 2D-Tracking Markers and Trackers Project-Settings & Caching Adding your first Tracker Tracker Settings More effective ways to set Markers Understanding the Pattern area Adjusting the Pattern area Understanding the Reference Point Optimize Search Area Settings Clip Display Settings Adjusting the direction of the Search area Tracking Navigation Tracking Dopesheet & Graph Curves Correcting Tracks & Keyframes Setting own Keyframes Re-activating disabled Trackers Clearing tracking data Lock viewer on a Tracker Locking the tracking data Changing the speed of tracking Tracking a more complicate feature Using 2D tracking data in 3D space Construct constraint empties for the tracks Follow track constraint Setting up a Camera Background Parent 3D objects to the 2D tracker Adjusting the Camera If you want to use the same footage, here is my Gumroad link: https://pixeltrain3d.gumroad.com/l/GEdjT Be aware, that these files are included in my Patreon ;-) https://www.patreon.com/pixeltrain3d This tutorial series „Blender for Production“ focuses on Blender as a full Production Suite for (Indie) 3D- & VFX Productions. In these tutorials, I will explain how to work with the different Modules of Blender and how they are connected. I will give you an introduction to the specific functionalities, but also the production context and workflows, which can help you to use Blender in your productions. As a Senior 3D & VFX Trainer, Helge Maus teaches 3D- & VFX Applications for 20 years. His focus lies on VFX, but he also works with many studios and agencies from different visualization areas. He focuses on Houdini FX, Blender, and NUKE for his daily work and training. If you have questions or topics, which should be added, please let me know.
