I’ve been trying to track the game footage in the link below for a week already but couldn’t get it to work. I tried tracking everything myself, and the detect new features method when some tracks are starting to disappear, the lowest I got was a solve error of 17 with both methods…
It’s probably because of the obstructions, but those are important for my scene. So I tracked different things before and after the obstructions and joined the tracks, also didn’t work. Since the camera goes in a circular motion, there’s no track that stays during the entire clip. What I’m trying to do is put a robot in the middle and the camera goes around it (I also put bottles on that spot on the ground for more tracking information)
It’s getting really frustrating now since it’s an important project to me. I also uploaded some pictures to get an idea how I tracked it.
It would be awesome if someone could help me figure this one out! Thanks!
I don’t know but I’m sure you don’t need to
heave track that stays during the entire clip to heave a good accurate solve
when they die let them die
just clean tail as they dissapear couse blender could still look for them in strange places
but you must then have markers that will overlap and that is enugh
you can check out my post O-pen pro-ject
is not the same case but similar
camera goes up and i am loosing markers and adding new
going medival on my pc
so i hope it helps
I just converted your YT video to an image sequence and fed it to Colmap (an open source photogrammetry software). It took about 9 minutes and it gave me a camera track (on “Low” settings) that shows where your problem lies: The camera you’re trying to track and solve with Blender’s built-in Motiontracker has an animated focal length ( = zoom lens) that currently Blender can’t solve no matter how hard you try. Here’s the animation curve of the focal length it gave me:
Wow that’s crazy man u just showed me what I’m trying to do for so long haha that monkey head track looks so good even on that low quality video! What do u think is the best motion tracking software for my case? I always work with the blender motion tracker because it’s build in and easy to use, so I don’t really know how others work. Also I don’t quite understand how I can motion track my video in another software and then put my animated model on that spot in blender? How is that linked together? Sry I’m a bit new to all this haha
Hi, there is still the issue of the head appearing in front of the objects, some of these objects/structures will have to be modelled in 3d to get a realistic view.
