I learned how to use the camera tracker in 3DSMAX, and I was wondering if it could be used for something other than match-moving. Rather than inputting the 5 or so different campoints, can you use it to move a dummy across the field of veiw? For instance, could someone track a lightbulb with the camera tracker, but instead of using it as matchmoving information, use it to match a lense flare to the bulb or something like that. Does that make any sense?
