Hi all, A couple of questions - Anyone got a guide to using the trackers in the FX tree, such as setting offsets as in Flame - i.e. track a portion of a shot using an object in the scene, then jumping the tracker to another when it gets obscured????? When I try increasing the track area, by dragging the handles on the box of the tracker, XSI Quits immediately - poof - houdini coudn't do it better - is this known??? What I have done, and is quite cool - I know that Kim has done it before, but I used the track to help me on a shot that couldn't be 3d tracked to get a Camera pan and tilt - worked great - trying on another shot now, that has even less tracking objects!!!
