3D Object Tracking in After Effects (not done with the 3d camera tracker!!)
In this new tutorial by flomotion, you will learn a professional workflow for 3d object tracking in after effects.
As we are finally able to import 3D objects with textures natively into After Effects (obj, fbx,glb ) I tired to combine this with a really awesome Object tracking tool for after effects wich is called "GeoTracker" from "KeenTools" and it is absolutely free.
Facial exressions and facial tracker!
Track a face and head with custom 3d shapes as well as primitive shapes!
So follow me doing a face track in 3d space, and animate some lights (ambient and point lights)
And I am also going to animate the 3d skull in a very smart way, as we use the audio file to drive the animation!
attention: it is getting ADVANCED again! ...and professional!!
But no worries, there will be many useful tips and tricks for effects and workflows also for beginners and intermediates in this online tutorial video lesson...
we will really benefit from all the new features in after effects 2023

Beside the obvious and great 3D object track solution that it is, it seems like a viable solution for planar tracker in the phone/tablet case scenario when hands and fingers crossing cause subtle vibrations that Mocha can't handle properly because of occlusion. Thanks!

[@chad5893]

Thanks for this. The one issue I see cropping up for all of these instructional videos is the actor movement is incredibly slow and not representative of what an actual scene would be. It would be great if you could do a follow-up with natural human movement, turns, profile angles, walking...etc

[@flo.motion]

Got you! My issue is that I need to show examples that are easy to understand an to watch... but I will definitely try to also incorporate more "real world" examples!! Btw: the tracker does a really good job for fast moves or even 360° spins... you just need a few more keyframes

[@benjamindeutscher]

Hey! This is a fantastic tutorial, I had no idea this was possible. Subscribed! Do you know if it’s possible to export the tracking data? Like to .fbx to use in Maya or Blender?

[@flo.motion]

Hey! Haven't tried it out, but I am pretty sure you can do that as there are tutorials about that on KeenTools website!!

[@Pilps]

Any idea why the analysing footage is taking forever? Its been 10+ minutes and its only at 22% this isn't right, i have a 3090ti gpu and a ryzen 9 3950x cpu, is it really this slow of analysing before i can use the toolbar to track the footage with my object?

[@flo.motion]

Hey, how long is your footage? And in which resolution? 10minutes for 22%... so about 45 mins for a whole shot... could be... my shot of 10 seconds took about 5mins though..

[@Pilps]

@@flo.motion i figgured it out, my footage was in 4k, so scaled it down and cut it into shorter clips too

I’m just learning about all these effects available for the average user . My question is, when is green screen even necessary then? It seems you can do almost anything without green screen . In what situation would green screen or objects in green be useful for later adding special effects?

[@flo.motion]

I would use it if you want to key trycky stuff like fabric or hair!! Still the best method even with all AI tools available these days

[@tomo6716]

3D model support is available in the After Effects 24.1 official release (no longer Beta)!

[@flo.motion]

it is indeed!!

[@tsunarun]

hanks for this tuto. One question " why in after effects they told me 3D model for use with trapecode" thank you very much

[@flo.motion]

Well... maybe because you can use 3D models in trapcode, for example trapcode form... but of course you can also use it natively now in the beta or in other 3D software! Hope that helps

[@maotao2441]

Hi ya thanks for the tutorial, so it only works in AFX beta version now right?

[@flo.motion]

Tracker wirks in all version. But rhe native 3d Import only worls in the beta... you could for example use every Version for the tracker and then use Element3D. But the beta is for free if you already have AE installed 😎

[@JuanLopez-jc5dw]

Hello, nice video. Is It possible to do that but with a full body?

[@flo.motion]

It is! You could track each part separately or use wonder studio. You can watch my video on that on my channel!

[@Tezzno]

Looks like the glb files cannot be imported anymore, maybe in future updates, but for now, it is not possible anymore, I used obj with E3D, then created a null from 3d object and parent the position/rotation etc.

[@flo.motion]

You need to use the Beta Version. It was never possible in the standard version!

[@lightsstudio5963]

Good

[@flo.motion]

Yes

[@sahiljala2027]

i have a query, you used a skull for your tracking so seperating the jaw part was easy but what if i want to use an actual face model.....so, do we have something for that as well? like can we use the rigs for it or something?

[@flo.motion]

Hey, for the tracking there is a model of a face already built in where you can enable all different parts of the head! And you find the same head for free as a 3D model in the internet! ;)

[@ralphklisiewicz1]

Great tutorial! However, I was not able to download the 3d assets. When I clicked video clip pilot I was able to download the Halloween pack but the files are .obj which are greyed out during import. When I click on turbosquid I cannot find the free head. I found some good skulls I have to pay for which is ok, but noe of them are in the GLB format, they come in the following formats: OBJ FBX USDz Unity Unreal glTF Could you please clarify how to download the asset you are using? thank you

[@flo.motion]

You can use gltf as well. Or use blender to convert. Also AE will ich able to import obj files soon! You will also find a lot of free assets an sketchfab.

[@coapa_760]

but the obj file.. does it need to be built in a specific way or does it just import the wireframe that it needs

do i have to have the same lighting in your room in order to key out my skin properly. because when i try color keying my skin out, i can only key out so much until it just keys out everything including my hair and eyes.

[@flo.motion]

Hey! It is not about the light but the colour of your skin! If that is too similar with the rest of your room, you can try to maybe use the extract effect. Or roto...or even better: the roto brush tool!!
