Nasty one isn't it??
If I was you I'd do what I did and load up shake!

Regards,
Simon.

Subject: FX Tree Tracking stuff


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!!!

Cheers

S.
