Hey Everybody,

I've recently stumbled upon the excellent PFHoe (http://www.pfhoe.com) and I've noticed a certain feature I am quite excited about. PFHoe uses a very intuitive process to approximate the camera position, rotation and FOV for one single frame. You can see what I mean in this tutorial here

I mean the feature being used at 00:04:50 of the VIdeo. It's a cube where you can drag the corners to corresponding coordinates in the picture.

Here is the Question:
Has anybody seen just that feature as a plugin or script or a small tool? I need that kind of tool all the time becaue I often have to match a 3D camera to a given still photo. Yet, I can do without the motion tracking features of PFHoe. It would be a real lifesaver...

Just those? No, no, no, no.

Every camera tracking app can do this. I recommend Synh-Eyes if you're on a budget. PF-Hoe is crud. If you have the green, get Boujou.
