Tracking

So I'm happy with the work I have done so far and at the same time as this project, I am learning about lighting for the other project I am working on and also later on in this project.

To track, I have decided to use Matchmover. There are only four shots to track so it shouldn't be too bad.

Ok, so the shots were are tracking are pretty simple shots so I have decided to use automatic tracking and see how it turns out. It was pretty easy to do which is a plus as I have never done it before. So I loaded the footage into matchmover and set it to auto track and this happened:

It continued to track the points until the end of the clip. Then I exported this into Maya so I could see how it will look and how the tracking looked in 3D. This is how it turned out:

With footage:

Without footage:

In some of the shots, it can be difficult to work out what the markers are so it's important to have the footage behind it. I think it works well and will definitely help when we come to put it into the environment. It will help when we animate the spider too because then we can make out where the camera will be and when.

Now I have to wait for a while for other members to do the animating of the spider and finish modelling the environment and things but most are nearly done. This will then mean I can move onto lighting and hopefully start finishing some shots. In the meantime, I'll get on with my other project.
