I have a question that might be dumb, but how would I go about doing a 3D tracking of a feature, lets say a head?
The project would involve attaching a 3D helmet on an actors head. Lots of tracking points or any other contraption on the actors head would not be a problem since the 3D helmet would be quite oversized. Is this something that would be done with mocap or is it possible to obtain something usable just from an HD video of the performance using tracking software? The animation would not be to hard to do manually but if there is any other way to do this, your help would be greatly appreciated.
