So aligning plates is a task that we have to do all too frequently. I have always maxed the two plates together, dropped a corner pin after the plate that needs alignment, and eyeballed it into place. Sometimes, F_Align can do this task quickly and effectively.
Sometimes neither of these two tricks work. Maybe the folks on set decided not to spend the money on the proper equipment, so instead of a motion control shot, they just tell the jib arm operator to make his move look real similar to the last take. :) What I have done in the past would be to solve the two shots in a tracking package ( Boujou, PFTrack ) and then bring the two solves into Maya, and manually align them. I know that the new version of PFTrack gives you the ability to import multiple pieces of footage and will solve multiple cameras, allowing you to connect points between the two camera solves. The question is, is there an automated way to do this with Nuke? I'm pretty sure this is impossible, but I would like to select a 3D point in one solve and say that it is equal to a 3D point in another solve? Perhaps this could be done with Ocula? _______________________________________________ Nuke-users mailing list [email protected], http://forums.thefoundry.co.uk/ http://support.thefoundry.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nuke-users
