Blender offers Motion Tracking and the just shipped Cinema 4D R16 comes with a 3D tracking solution.
MOCHA PRO 3D TRACKING SOFTWARE
One thing that has also recently happened is the 3D software is starting to integrate tracking into their workflow. Dedicated tracking applications do offer focused workflows and optimisations in speed which can save hours if not days of time, especially if you are working on a lot of live action integration. While it would be great if we could keep everything in one programme like After Effects or Nuke. As most of us have After Effects anyway as part of Adobe CC 14, it should be your first stop for quick one off tracking solutions. While it works great 90% of the time, it can take a long time to solve and when a shot needs refining it is harder to work on specific elements as quickly as you can in other tracking software.
MOCHA PRO 3D TRACKING FULL
Speaking of After Effects, it too comes with a good range of tracking and stabilisation tools.įrom the simple 2D tracker to the quite frankly amazing warp stabilisation toolset, for many people After Effects will cover most of the small tracking jobs that they need to do, and with the bundled mocha AE CC, there is a gateway into Planar tracking as well.Īside from mocha AE and the 2D tracker, the one criticism I have about the After Effects full 3D tracking toolset is that its 'One Button' approach is all or nothing. After EffectsĪfter Effects suite of tracking tools are some of the easiest to use and can provide excellent results with the press of a button Its worth noting that The Foundry also do a plugin called Camera Tracker for After Effects which takes some of the features of the Nuke 3D tracker and integrates them into After Effects CC. Nuke's tracking tools help excel at making getting through your work quicker. As all these tracking tools are natively part of Nuke, that means that round-tripping to dedicated tracking applications is not needed, and when integrated with Nuke's 3D workspace and tools like the Model builder, which can quickly enable you to build a 3D scene with textures without needing to go into a dedicated 3D application like Cinema 4D or modo. Nuke, the full compositing package from The Foundry comes with an excellent 2D tracker, but it's bigger brother Nuke X has all the best tracking toys with its excellent 3D tracker which generates a very useful point cloud which makes visualising camera data so much easier. The 3D tracker in Nuke X is easy to visualise is excellently integrated with the rest of the application Planar tracking is a much more artist friendly way of working than traditional 3D tracking and mocha Pro is full of features which will speed up your workflow for a huge range of VFX features. Mocha Pro takes this toolset and expands on it, with a wide range of tools which can clean up your footage quickly such as the amazing Remove module, which as the title suggests can remove elements in your footage such as support wires, unwanted signs, tatoo's, automatically, which used to be a hugely tedious task.
Planar tracking is great for creating masks and mattes for screen replacements, which I use mocha AE CC for all the time.
MOCHA PRO 3D TRACKING FREE
Mocha Pro, and it's little brother Mocha AE CC, which comes free with After Effects CC, are at their core Planar trackers which is a system which tracks shapes in a 2.5D environment rather than trying to solve a full 3D scene (although mocha Pro can create 3D scene data if required). Mocha Pro has the ability to get rid of problem marks and tatoos quickly and easily with its advanced tracking toolset
