Spent the last few days trying various approaches to getting some solid tracking results for my last big outstanding section of the reel. It’s only a short segment of live action footage but its got some fairly fast motion and some tricky layered rotoscoping to contend with. I’ve tried many approaches to getting the best results including shooting at 60fps and 4K in order to get a clean read of the marker affine transforms. It’s nevertheless proved to be something of a black art but I’ve learned a lot in the process. I’ve got one last segment of simulation work to do and then it’s on to filming the final footage, tracking, rendering, rotoscoping and compositing.
