motion tracking

[Smola Martin]

I look for more informations about motion tracking. I have try Boujou and Realviz. For my architecture project is Realviz better. I can resolve track by 3Dmodel from Max.

 

Have you somebody experience with:

• Icarus (freeware, now defunct but apparently still used)
  
• Maya Live (Module of Maya Unlimited)
  
• PixelFarm PFTrack (the commercial reincarnation of Icarus)
  
• Sciene.D.Visions 3DEqualizer (which won an academy award for technical achievement)
  
• Ssontech SynthEyes
  
• Voodoo (free software)

Important properties for comparison product

- time resolving

- input data HDTV 1920 x 1080

- export data to MAX

- support multi-thread

- support 64bit

- mayby netsolving? (something as netrendering Max)

Autodesk Combustion should be able to help.

 

Motion tracking capabilities, Good ties with viz/max (rpf export etc) , and supports backburner rendering

from Wikipedia

 

Match moving has two forms. Compositing programs, such as Shake, Adobe After Effects and discreet Combustion, have two dimensional motion tracking capabilities. This feature translates images in two-dimensional space and can add effects such as motion blur in an attempt to eliminate relative motion between two features of two moving images. This technique is sufficient to create verisimilitude when the two movies do not include major changes in camera perspective. For example a billboard deep in the background of a shot can often be replaced using two-dimensional tracking.

Three dimensional match moving tools make it possible to extrapolate three-dimensional information from two-dimensional photography. Programs capable of 3D match moving include:

• 2d3 Boujou
  
• Icarus (freeware, now defunct but apparently still used)
  
• Maya Live (Module of Maya Unlimited)
  
• PixelFarm PFTrack (the commercial reincarnation of Icarus)
  
• RealViz MatchMover
  
• Sciene.D.Visions 3DEqualizer (which won an academy award for technical achievement)
  
• Ssontech SynthEyes
  
• Voodoo (free software)

Sorry my explain. I mean Three dimensional match moving

I've done a few things with Icarus, and it tracked nodal pans acurately first time, no drama.

I've had less happy experiences in the past with Boujou and Realviz, but those were some years back, and certainly not the latest versions.

For anything I'm doing at the moment, Icarus still seems to handle it fine.

I haven´t expririence with Icarus but this project is defunct. The commercional reincarnation is PFTrack 3.0 (PixelFarm). It´s look quite friendly like only has support 64-bitt. But at present is Sigraph and Realviz announce news for Match Mover Pro.
