yes you should track the footage and make a camera so you can match your model in properly.

but how to track in max...do u have ant tutorial for that ...it will be very help ful to me...thx for ur reply..

[Nic H]

you will need to use boujou or pftrack etc to track the footage and make a camera to import into max

as far as i know you cannot do it inside max

 

then again you could actually be talking about something completely different

 

can you use an image sequence on a plane or something?

There is a Motion Tracker feature inside 3ds Max. It's not as user friendly imho as PF Track. However, it is there, and there are tutorials for it. You can access it by going to the hammer icon in your modifier stack, and select Camera Tracker.

 

Or if you use after effects, there's a tracking feature in AE that's the most user friendly one I've come across. The problem with that is that you cannot export AE Cameras in to max without this boomerlabs plugin called Max2AE. I haven't tried the plugin because I run a Mac OS, and its only for windows.
