Blender 2.9 Object Tracking for Beginners

[@jimboflex6194]

A very thorough and easy to understand tutorial. To further "sell" a shot like this, I would add a shadow catcher (in Cycles mode) where the actor's neck and/or shoulders would be, so that the helmet shadow would fall on the actor's "body" (giving the shadow catcher the same color material as the actor, for any reflections or bounce light that's recorded by the helmet mesh). While alignment of the shadow-catcher mesh may require a frame-by-frame adjustment (or possibly an animated armature if there's a lot of actor movement), a larger light source would soften the shadow, reducing the amount of work needed to keep the shadow aligned. Keeping this in mind from the outset, the original footage should be shot with softer lighting. Not exactly sure how this would work with HitFilm, though. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@4KProductionsFilms]

Very useful tips and instructions. I feel like even I could pull off some of those shots after watching, but, in my case, I know that's just the rush talking! 🤣

Blender tracking looks so good

[@AudreyGoncalves-]

You basically transformed Blender into a totally PRO Software bro. I´ve never seen such a good content about tracking in Blender. TKX

I'm Zaaaack and welcome baaaack 😎

[@BonzikaStudios]

Purely Excellent Detailed Tutorial. Keep it Up!

[@FXhome]

Glad it was helpful!

[@DGaryGrady]

Excellent advice to add contrast, saturation, and even some sharpening to footage before tracking! It's worth noting that this can be completely separate from color correction and grading for other purposes. (By the way, Zach does some of the clearest tutorials on KZbin. He would also make an excellent voice actor for a scarier version of HAL 9000, and I mean that with great respect!)

[@4seeableTV]

His voice is anything but scary.

[@Glitch_Wizard]

@@4seeableTV This is what makes it perfect though. When you take something that is calm, or cute, or comforting, and you mix it with horror, you get this bizarre combination kinda in the uncanny valley in a weird way. This is why cute little girl holding a balloon in a horror movie is terrifying. Or you could have like mr rogers as a horror character.

Fricking awesome tutorial. You made this straightforward and its one of the coolest things I've done so far in Blender (Process is still the same in 3.1). Subbing immediately :)

That's the same method Christopher Nolan used for Harvey Dent in Dark Knight, hope Sony uses it for Calypso in the Twisted Metal TV series Yay Kirsties back 😍😍😍😍

Great tutorial but halfway through you finally mention you need 8 tracking markers...that should have been said in the beginning....sheesh.

how do you stop cam from moving abruptly when keyframes move out of video?

If I may ask is it compulsory to motion track ...can I just animate it according to the movement of her face

You could, but it would be very tedious.

@@FXhome okay that's true Thanks

[@asmkawsar]

Awesome Tutorial... wish you share the source footage as well. Many Thanks.. 💜💜💜

[@insanityfilms]

00:03 is that for real ? or is he just messing around ??? I'm confused

[@jamesbondaygee]

Pretty cool I must say. I usually use AFX. And hadn't heard about HitFilm. May check it out. Thanks. But why not just use the Film editor and compositing tools within Blender??

[@zidaan21]

Hi, thanks for this great tutorial! One big problem for me. I followed everything perfectly, everything is precise as in your video, only big problem for me.... The head turns to the right, the mask to the left. I do not understand why. Please help me. Thanks in advance.

[@SitinprettyProductions]

Thanks for the video! How do you set the scene frames to specific frames in blender before tracking? I click the button thinking it will allow me to put in the start and end frame and instead nothing seems to happen.

[@luisignaciodebellis6539]

Hi. When parenting the points to the 3d object you scale the object; is it posible to scale the points to fit the normal size of the 3D object?

[@Infotained]

Can we do this in after effects insted of hitlfilm

[@SubH2O]

Very useful..this is good also for hitfilm express??

[@FlyingBanana78]

If you have the purchased 3d pack for express. If not you can just render out the scene in blender with alpha background and a png image sequence so that only the helmet is getting rendered with the motion. Then you can import the image sequence into Hitfilm and then add the original footage in under the helmet image sequence and then adjust colors and grading as needed.

[@Bluemograph]

hey camera tracking result doesn't attach orthographic camera mode how to solve that?

[@Weareisreal]

can you do this with characters?

[@makethelifesimple]

Wire frame view? 8:27

[@bokwuchidezie7657]

Very informative and useful but one problem detected, there's no shadow cast under the character's neck, it's just an observation.

[@stoatsnhoney]

Could probably be fixed by masking the neck in Mocha and using it as a shadow catcher!

[@ridwanm5150]

How to add shadow on the neck?

[@MyStudio-io3so]

I cannot floor the object. It goes in a very weird rotation angle when I select three track and hit floor

Hi, I'm going to buy a pc for learning Blender purpose. Can you help me, is this pc spec suitable for Blender? Intel i9 12gen RTX 3050 or 3060 graphic card 16GB ram Please give your advice. Thanks.

[@rhomis]

Did you buy the PC? Seems like it will handle the job well. I use 2 NVIDIA graphic cards for GPU (CUDA) processing. My AMD processor is also CUDA, but don't use that in blender with the graphics card CUDA, even though it is listed. It actually slows it down so much.

[@nickfai9301]

@@rhomis Not yet. Still cannot make the decision which one should I buy. Two display card means a lot of money right :) ....

@@nickfai9301 - You may want to build a PC yourself. That's all I do. I never buy a prefab PC unless it is a used one from a geek.

[@nickfai9301]

[@aliensoup2420]

Why not render it Blender? Is this suggesting that Hitfilm has a better renderer than Blender?

[@rhomis]

I was wondering that too. I like to have full control in Blender for everything, like shadows and realism. I don't like to stray away from Blend much, unless I really have too.

[@ukmonk]

What I don't get, how is this such a massive chore to get to work in Blender etc when you have an iPhone that can do it automatically!! Isn't there any addons/apps that can do this please? I mean face track with iPhone and export data to Blender? Surely cant be that hard!
