Compositing Pipeline

[Micah-H]

allright I captured the footage I would like to use, now I have to track it using Boujou. I have read around and I think this shot will be difficult to track, is that true? Can I use the auto track?

I think this footage no so hard to track. I dont have big experience in Boujou, but in PFTrack it can be tracked with auto track + 1 or 2 manual tracker))
About your pipeline i think, (Maya/C4D+Boujou+AE) it works great)) subjective sentiment:)

Thanks Tigran.

when I strictly auto track, I am getting no sense of a ground plane, how could I manually change that?

[Muft]

I do not have experience with Boujou matchmoving, but in all this programs work same methods.
After autotrack you must solve your scene)) after that only you can see your 3d scene+grid+...)) after that you can improve your tracked scene with some manual trackers;)
Do not forget mask out moving objects before start tracking))

ill give it a go and report back

[Micah-H]

ok so I got it all figured out now I just need to pick some manual points, do you have any suggestions of points that would be good to consider manually?

[Muft]

You must select those points, that have better visibility and parallax))
Like cableposts or cars near the road:)
